got a ticket for my destination" by Paul Simon.

that song was written in the train station near where I live, It's got a plaque and everything. My town seems eternally pride despite the sentiment behind it. Does your town hold any interesting Musical history?...

my town acts as a nice little tour stop between minneapolis and montana. the new york punk band molitov cocktail wrote a song dedicated to our tiny music scene. propagandhi also played here and said in a later interview that our town had the smallest venue they had ever played in but also that we were also one of the better crowds.

and when the band slackjaw toured the midwest, we painted a four square court on the driveway of our local venue so that we could all play four square. the city could care less, but those of us who were there still use the court when there's a show, although slackjaw was the only band who cared to join us.Edited by: samuelle
