It was a very appropriate music choice, and gave me an even greater appreciation for the band (especially this song.) I do believe that you are right that Columbia, MO, is the "three hour away town." In all fairness, though, you have to admit that Belleville is part of the much larger St. Louis metropolitan area. But when one considers that STL is also the city under consideration when Tweedy sings that "no one likes them where they're from," you can understand why they were tempted to drive all the way to Columbia!Brian Inoreply@blogger.com
