Robert Johnson lyric question!
In Robert Johnson's classic song Sweet Home Chicago why does he say "Back to the land of California to my sweet home Chicago"? Last time I checked Chicago was in Illinois!

Glenn Danzig
I have been getting into Glenn Danzig's three bands the Misfits, Samhain and Danzig a lot lately. Misfits were one of the best punk bands ever because their songs were full of energy and great melodies and brutally hilarious lyrics.

By the late 60s...- wolfsblood
