(check the toll roads ... you pay to get out of NJ)
New Jersey: What exit?
New Jersey: Where the men wear mustaches to look more like their mothers.
New Jersey: Your land is our land.
New Jersey: Ten thousand murder victims can't be wrong!
Born and raised Paterson in the 5o's
New Jersey madness ping
Old Folks at Home was written by Stephen Foster, who never came to Florida nor visited the Suwannee River. (It just fit the meter and sounded better than the Pedee River!)
I can appreciate the contribution Stephen Foster made to the music of his day, and the contribution his song made to early tourism in Florida, but man! Can't we come up with something a little better than this for today? Keep the museum, keep the song in the history books, but give us something we can sing without shame! (And, although I love Jimmy Buffet, I mean something that doesn't refer to alcohol abuse and loose morals!)
