Spike ,'Showtime'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
No, train would be silly, none actually stop in Baton Rouge (something I think about whenever I listen to Me and Bobby McGee) and any possible route would take way longer than I'd actually be there for the reunion. Alas.
But flying+car rental+hotel isn't too bad. I mean, a lot to drop in one weekend in the normal way of thengs but it's kind of a big event. OTOH, I'm trying to be frugal.
Well, more than two months from now, I can think about it some more.
Baton Rouge...Me and Bobby McGee
I always figured, since they were "busted flat," that they were planning to hop a freight train.
On the other hand, KCS ran the Southern Belle between Kansas City and New Orleans, and it stopped at their station in Baton Rouge. Last run was November 1, 1969, so just about the time the song was written.
Nice! Now I can think about that every time! Thanks!
Not only am I in neither Iceland nor Spain for tomorrow's eclipse, I'll be on a Zoom call so I can't even watch online. I'll have a window open just in case I get an opportunity but I'm hosting the call so probably not. Glad I at least know several people who are out there to experience it!
