Davey Lopez interview on Slab City as “the last frontiers in California,” “a new kind of state,” “people like to be free.” (a romanticized self-image.) Davey also addresses his own family background and wanting to spend more time with his father; also, money from swap meets. Interesting cutaway material of jump starting car with battery cables; LS of swap meet table in front of converted rig & Confederate flag.
