We need your help. NPR’s Melissa Block recently interviewed musician Passenger (Mike Rosenberg), who shared a story about a chance encounter with a stranger who had a profound impact on his life. We want to find that stranger. Last year during a tour stop in Minneapolis, Rosenberg made a late-night gas station trip to buy cigarettes. He struck up a conversation with an older man who was smoking outside next to his motorcycle. He learned that this gentleman had been diagnosed with lung cancer and was midway through a cross-country road trip to see his family in New York, where he planned to spend the rest of his days. Rosenberg never got the man’s name, but the experience affected him deeply. He quit smoking and wrote the song “Riding to New York.” We’d love to reach this man or his family. If you think you might know who he is, please email [email protected] Listen to the story, as told to Melissa Block:
