No, you're getting colder... and windier...

p.s. In the "songs with Houston in them" thread I mentioned I was going to Houston May 11th to see Laurie Anderson, but almost as soon as I posted that, a friend in Chicago phoned me to tell me David Sylvian was playing a small club there on May 12th... So now I'm going to Chicago instead... are you psychic?

The Doors - Peace Frog
Grateful Dead - Truckin'

Not psycic, just a remote viewing experience I guess hehe

Gee, thought there weren't any more city threads coming.

You spelled levee wrong. :f:

I was being sardonic :df:

Kudos to you VW, Paperlace was my first thought too, ya burst me bubble :p

Another all-time classic:

Route 66 ("Well it winds from Chicago to LA...")

Lyric and Music by Bob Troup. Has been recorded by people too numerous to mention, among them such diverse groups as The Rolling Stones and Depeche Mode...
