Tor__Hershman Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 (edited) Is there a song about where you live/lived? New York City dwellers are a gimme. This song's story is 100% the antithesis of my west coast adventure. I ran back to Wheeling. BTW If you view my location - Wheeling comes from a Native American expression for Place Of The Skull...really.

Strider Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 San Francisco: We Built This City--Starship Ironically, the song was written by Bernie Taupin(an Englishman) about the Los Angeles rock scene. But the song is so bad, we let San Francisco have it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAS Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 It's a crazy place. They ran the riff-raff out of downtown but if you go around the outer parts of town on the Missouri side its full of nut jobs. You just try to get gas and people beg for cigarette money and try to sell you electronics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
