"Last Train to London," also by ELO.

(I remember my mother doing a crossword puzzle, and the clue was something like "name of the group who sang "Evil Woman." I said "Electric Light Orchestra," to which mom said the clue was only three letters. So I said "ELO." ;D)

You think Dean wasn't affected by that, too? Their duo nearly ended over that crash!

I tell ya, life isn't easy for a man named Jan!

Paul McCartney had several. "Helen Wheels," which mentioned several British cities, and was later added to the Band on the Run album. Curiously, Paul was against adding "Helen Wheels" to Band on the Run, even though both "Helen Wheels" and "Band on the Run" (the title track) both told of the saga of the jailer man and Sailor Sam. (Indeed, some British copies of Band on the Run still do not contain "Helen Wheels.")

Then in 1974, Paul had the double-sided single, "Junior's Farm" and "Sally G." "Junior's Farm" was about the farm in Wilson County, Tennessee, where Paul stayed during his visit to Nashville back about that time. "Sally G." was fictitious (I think), but the song made reference to several Nashville locations, like Printer's Alley. (I don't this single ever appeared on an album, except for compilation albums much later.)

Happy birthday, Paul! :)

I wish someone would have told that obviously wrapped too tight Barack Obama that when he criticized John McCain over that "Bomb Iran" statement that McCain was only quoting from a song! :mad: Damn political correctness!! :mad:

Although McCain obviously got it wrong. "Bomb Iran" was not by the Beach Boys. ::)
