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!
Could be. Or hitchiking, which was still a thing you could think about without considering being chopped into little pieces in the sixties.
