Wade Carson & The P-38's "I LOVE MY TRUCK" (Official Music Video)

Wade Carson & The P-39’s releases visuals for “I Love My Truck”





Inspired by true events, I LOVE MY TRUCK, was written during 2013 in
North Hollywood CA. During that whole year in 2013, Wade Carson was
homeless living in a 2000 Ford F-150 red pickup truck.

7 years
before that dark time in his life in 2013, Wade entered into the Air
National Guard after working with Micheal Jackson’s record producer; Dr.
Freeze. While working with Freeze on his first horror film, he was
called into Army reserve duty during Operation Enduring Freedom. Freeze
had to cancel production, and Micheal could no longer support
sponsership of the film due to his court fees. After getting injured in
the Army National Guard, Wade returned to the midwest where he was faced
with finding civilian work. He decided to go to college in Phoenix AZ
at a Media Arts school to try to get a degree in the field he was
already working in while working with Dr Freeze, the Army and similar to
what he did as a ROTC Public Affairs photographer.



Being in Phoenix from 2008 to 2011, Wade transferred to Orange County
CA to a sister campus where he would finish his fourth year. April of
2012, is the month that Wade will never forget, as it was the month that
his old girl ( his truck) would become his only best friend. Only one
month away from graduating with a BA in Media Arts, his college
terminated him from the school due to lack of not having enough tuition
from his student loan. His E3 Air National Guard reservist status was
also not enough to cover classes or student housing. He was evicted from
his student apartment and found himself living in his truck and did so
for the next year.

During this dark year, due to a previous
injury, Wade was medically discharged from the Air National Guard. With
no income, taking showers at the Burbank Aid Shelter, taking temp odd
jobs, and acting jobs as a NCIS LA extra for Central Casting, Wade was
barely wading the water.

Nights sitting in his truck watching the
summer months pass him by, seeing familes and friends at the park,
having fun, barbecuing during July 4th, people jogging in the morning
with their dogs wearing Micheal Bolton sweaters, and couples at the park
at night, looking up at the night stars, Wade realized then that
freedom isn’t free. He found himself in a war in his own head, and began
hallucinating and was diagnosed with schizophrenia shortly there after.





To pass time, Wade wrote a song to keep his spirits up. While having
his McDonalds dollar coffee he wrote a song called I LOVE MY TRUCK. A
senior citizen asked him, “you writing a love letter there for your
lady” ? he said, “yes sir I am…She is the only one that has my back
keeping me warm at night… literally”.”

These days Wade is doing
much better. He is no longer homeless and is no longer struggling with
mental illness. He still looks back on his truck fondly and is grateful
he no longer has to live in her, he can simply drive her.
