A Canadian roadpic, directed by
Bruce McDonald
and starring
Don McKellar
(et mucho al), involving mass hijinx in the surreptitious transport of some
heroin
from small-town
Ontario
to
New Orleans
. It works better as a
film
than as an Everything node, trust me.
Satan
has a cameo or three; nearly steals the show.
The highway upon and alongside which many of the events of the aforementioned film take place.
Bob Dylan
revisited it once, but that was a couple of decades earlier.

Just to add to
pingouin
's node,
Jello Biafra
has a very odd
cameo
as a
border patrol
guard at the
US-Canadian
border. Hearing him rant about "America is my home! How can I invite a criminal into my home?" is priceless.
As for
Satan
, consider the following: at the
crossroads
of Highway 61 and
Highway 49
in
Mississippi
,
Robert Johnson
is said to have called up the devil and sold his soul.
Highway 61 runs from
Ottawa
, Canada, through
Minneapolis
,
St. Louis
,
Memphis
, down to
New Orleans
. It is the
Mississippi River
of American highways.
Finally, Dylan did write a song, but its actual title is "
Highway 61 Revisited
", like the album.
