"...I'm a modern girl, but I fold in half so easily
When I put myself in the picture of success
I could learn world trade or try to map the ocean...
...They say, 'California is a recipe for a black hole'
And I say, 'I've got my best shoes on, I'm ready to go'...
...These are times that can't be weathered
And we have never been back there since then..." --- Rilo Kiley --- "...If there was a better way to go, then it would find me
I can't help it - the road just rolls out behind me
Be kind to me or treat me mean
I'll make the most of it - I'm an extraordinary machine..." --- Fiona Apple --- "...I'd like to rest my heavy head tonight
on a bed of California stars
I'd like to lay my weary bones tonight
on a bed of California stars
I'd love to feel your hand touching mine
and tell me why I must keep working on
Yes, I'd give my life to lay my head tonight
on a bed of California stars
I'd like to dream my troubles all away
on a bed of California stars
Jump up from my starbed, make another day
underneath my California stars
They hang like grapes on vines that shine
and warm the lovers' glass like friendly wine
So I'd give this world just to dream a dream with you
on our bed of California stars..." --- Billy Bragg & Wilco, lyrics by Woody Guthrie --- "We've all behaved ridiculously, and I'm moving on." --- Casey McCall, "Sports Night" ---
