Gas Food Lodging Band. Shade is the type to escape in her extravagant fantasies while Trudi is so rebelious it could drive her away. In the boring desert of New Mexico, a single mother raises her two teenage daughters, Shade and Trudi, whose deepest desire is to leave the dead calm town.
By the time they recorded "Gas Food & Lodging," the band had shifted gears a bit and honed their sound, addding Chuck Prophet on guitar. Based on a novel by Richard Peck called Don't Look and It Won't Hurt, Allison Anders's melodramatic coming-of-age tale Gas Food Lodging takes place in Laramie, NM, a small town right off the highway. Information for album "Gas Food Lodging": Green On Red.
Laramie, which is home to the three women at the center of Allison Anders's splendid new film, "Gas Food Lodging," is barely more than a bump on the map, and the trailer park where Nora (Brooke Adams) lives with her.
The film was adapted from the novel Don't Look and It Won't Hurt by Richard Peck.
Delightful and at times melancholy story of a single mother raising her troubled daughters as a truck stop waitress. I guess this sound is considered "Americana" or some such label, but to my ears it's just hearty, heartfelt rock music. When he was dying, and I knew this time he really was, I went to him.
