Tor__Hershman Posted March 23, 2013 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. Edited March 23, 2013 by Tor__Hershman Quote
tomloge Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 Well, I live on Long Island and Foghat did a song called '495 Boogie', in reference to 495, the Long Island Expressway (worlds biggest parking lot) Quote

SuperDave Posted March 24, 2013 Posted March 24, 2013 They play shaky here at times. Usually better to click the YouTube link as it will work better. Quote

Strider Posted March 25, 2013 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

DAS Posted March 26, 2013 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
