I hope it means as much to you as it did to me when the Colts won a few years ago. I'm still surprised at how you can be a fan of an NFL team after watching "The RCA State", but I'll admit that I didn't really become an Colts fan until sometime in my college years. New Orleans is going to be rocking for the next couple of weeks (of course it would anyway). I'm even contemplating about coming down to celebrate for you. I just don't think I'd be welcomed while wearing my Colts jersey. It's still going to be one hell of a party down there! Bart,

No hoosiers were harmed in the making of aforementioned entry. The intent is to force those with potential, such as Bart, from the cozy sarcophagus of Indiana into a better life, or to parody and excoriate the neanderthals that they leave us here with.

I never doubted your love of Indiana music despite your increasingly humorous list of Indy's faults. Peace! Jeb Thanks for the shout out Bart!

So have some a heapin' helpin' of Indiana with your red beans and rice...GO COLTS!!

(Sometimes they hit you flat in the face!) I hope the game lives up to hype -- these are two fun teams to watch! New Orleans has a cultural legacy of hundreds, if not thousands of years. Indianapolis is a manufactured city on a drained swamp, less than 200 years old. (Faux-oldest event: Mayflower moving vans bringing the Colts to Indy from Baltimore in the middle of the night.) No fair comparison is possible. It would be fun to create a series of pick-up football games to be played by randomly chosen fans from both cities. That might be just the right venue for trash talking... Geaux Saints, Slow Naptown. Bart,

Actually we delayed returning from our evacuation just for that. So it would have been November 2005. It was at the (first?) big MFT fest in Indy.

Now I'm not sure. But I bought the CD in Indy at a Gizmos show — the only place time I've ever seen them live — so I always associate those songs with Indy in my mind. The other angle (content) works as well. It's the best song in the mix, so even if they're a "Bloomington band" I had to include it.

I am wondering about the Gizmos song. I love that song, but is it explicitly about Indianapolis? I don't hear mention of Indy. Maybe you chose it because it's about an American dream exemplified by Indianapolis. That Dandelion Abortion song holds up pretty well. I am wondering about the Gizmos song.
