22 Sept 2010: it's... 1982

[Big Fingers McGee]

BOS2 "Kids in America", despite that "East California" reference.

right?  I heard that and was like, WTF is in EAST California?  Do Kids of America really want to hang out there?

Among the articles I'll never get to write is a brief history of geographically challenged Europeans.  From Wilde's love of Ukiah to First Class's beach trip to San Jose to Christie's adoring "San Bernardino" to Paper Lace's invention of the East Side of Chicago, there's been a bit of that in pop history.

And let's not forget Diesel's ill-conceived evening in Sausalito.

Train's "Get To Me", while I understand it's not to be taken literally, has some interesting directions.
