Sweet Home Chicago- Robert Johnson: Baby don't you want to go, to that land out in California my sweet home Chicago (last time I checked Chicago is in Illinois not Californication, but then again Johnson never left the area around Mississpii, Texas, and Louisiana....)

You still have to admit that Folsom Prison Blues is a kickass song, though.
Should any political party attempt to abolish social security, unemployment insurance, and eliminate labor laws and farm programs, you would not hear of that party again in our political history. There is a tiny splinter group, of course, that believes you can do these things... their number is negligible and they are stupid. --Dwight D. Eisenhower

damn straight.
besides how many california towns/cities would have fit the flow of the song. I mean the nearest I can think of is "I shot a man in Colma" which wouldn't get much of a reaction since "Colma" is a town made up for the service of mamorial parks (cemetaries)
