[music, travel, books]
The line in Ghost, by the Indigo Girls, which says "the Mississippi's mighty, but it starts in Minnesota at a place which you could walk across with five steps down" means I just added seeing the source of the Mississippi to the things I want to see, in my year of wandering.
Because of this, I'm wondering if there are any other places in the US that I should visit, based on lines from songs. Alternately, suggestions from books.
Anyone have any musical or literary suggestions for places to travel in the contiguous US?

To the hills of San Francisco
The spirit of the pioneers
The brightest and the best.
From the snowy slopes of Rainier
To the California Redwoods
It's the power and the glory
of the West.
So yes, see Sedona Arizona, and San Francisco, and Mt. Rainier, and the Redwoods. Throw in Yellowstone and Yosemite while you're out there.

I arrived at about 8 am on a Tuesday in February. I remember standing in the middle of the valley that contained nothing but me, my partner, trees, and some snow and water, and thought, "Okay. This wasn't overrated."
It really does deserve its reputation.
(I'll think about songs. I would have chosen "Ghost" first, too. That song really evoked a sense of place to me.)

Is this a thought for possibly my next visit to SF, or are you thinking further out, when I wander the country (which is when the question was originally thinking)?
