This piece is notable solely for being only the 3rd time in my ken

into a song or poem

The previous 2 were...

Prefab Sprout's 'The King of Rock'n'Roll'


A quick search on Lyrics Playground reveals, amongst many others...

Promised Land - Chuck Berry

By the Time I Get To Phoenix - Jimmy Webb/Glenn Campbell

Wanted Man - Dylan/Johnny Cash

Hi, Jolly, The Camel Driver (!!!!) - New Christy Minstrels - this one
must have passed me by, but it does also namecheck Tumcumcari, as
featured in "Willing".

Why is it that Reading and my old hometown of Preston never feature in
the rock 'n' roll canon?


That piece in the film 'The Grifters' with the wonderful Angelica
Houston


Yeah, we know about you and Angelica. Don't recall the song, but I do
remember a somewhat underdressed Annette Bening.

You guys amaze me with your memory. I can't remember the last time I drove
to St. Paul (20 miles away). I did remember my wife's birthday (last
Sunday), however, so I am safe for another year. ;>)
