You Really Ought to Give Iowa a Try!



Trouble, indeed! Ok, yeah, I really wanted to post "Iowa Stubborn" but for some reason the versions that exist on youtube range from handheld footage of community college productions to this perplexing vid of two high school boys singing their own arrangement in gym clothes. (Maury D'Annato has been called many things, but "chicken hawk" is not among them.) Anyway, step to it, New York, lest it be writ in history that you trailed "flyover country" into the 21st century.

Can you *believe* it?!

No!!! I would have thought high schoolers would rather be caught DEAD than be seen singing showtunes for all the world to...oh, that's not what you're talking about.

It kind of doesn't compute. But for that reason, it seems like an even bigger deal. I mean if it plays in Peoria (which, alright, is in Illinois, but same diff outside of Chicago) it is only a matter of time.
