Well, local to middle Ga. anyhow. It was inspired by the Atlanta Int. Pop Festival in Byron and although he doesn't mention the festival specifically, he does mention Byron by name. He takes plenty of gratuitous swipes at the invading hordes of hippies. I'm now inspired. I'll try to get it posted to the Atlanta Time Machine this weekend.
