They can change it to a village or whatever again if they vote it in. They have "towns" in New York State, but there that word doesn't mean what you think it means. <br /><br />Capital G, please.<br /><br />What is Zinfandel? Wine? Are you kidding? Of the world? Must be a joke.Relax Maxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01051381168322495999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3747947508769983768.post-12929641946652104962012-10-11T11:02:09.508-06:002012-10-11T11:02:09.508-06:00Back in the day, when this reoord came out, I thin...Back in the day, when this reoord came out, I think it was the b-side of Bad Moon Rising, I would listen and listen, trying to figure out the refrain, I just could not make it into any sort of coherent english. <br />Partly because I was flummoxed by Lodi. What's a lodi? Of course, before the internets, I had no idea. Now of course, I know it's a Californian city, with a population at census of 62,130 souls.<br />Here in britain we'd call it a town. City implies big.<br />Anyway, I know also that it regards itself as the "Zinfandel Capital of the World". In the song, Mr Fogerty makes it sound like the armpit of the universe. On google street-view it doesn't look so bad at all.<br /><br />As for that "I rode in on a greyhound, I'll be walking out when I go", well, I'd like to point out that a greyhound, whilst fast, is not a very large, nor a particularly robust type of hound. No wonder he'll be walking, the poor thing probably died of exhaustion.<br />Maybe he could take the bus.....soubriquethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01151288534629885195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3747947508769983768.post-40586891568309699262012-10-10T23:58:28.085-06:002012-10-10T23:58:28.085-06:00No bad!No bad!Adullamitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15537659871829290071noreply@blogger.com
