Maine Towns & Classic Rock Song Titles

While doing research for Classic Lunch Menu's, we came across some stuff that falls between coincidence and the stretching of your imagination. Here ya go...

Scarborough, ME (Population: 20,352; Zip Code 04070, 04074) / "Scarborough Fair" - Simon & Garfunkel (1966; LP: Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme). One of S&G's prettiest even if it is a traditional folk ballad from the Middle Ages...

Paris, ME (Pop.: 5,187; Zip 04271) / "Free Man In Paris" - Joni Mitchell (1974; LP: Court and Spark). Of course, it's on her most commercially successful selling album...

Mexico , ME (Pop.: 2,681; Zip 04257) / "Going To Mexico" - The Steve Miller Band (1970; LP: Number 5). One of the Space Cowboy's most rockin' psychedelic-blues infusions.

Corinna, ME (Pop.: 2,140; Zip 04928) / "Corinna, Corinna" - Bob Dylan (1963, LP: The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan).

Get your copy a.s.a.p....

Washburn, ME (Pop.: 1,687; Zip 04786) / "D.W. Washburn" - The Monkees (1968; Non-album single release). Actually a cover of an old Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller classic first recorded by The Coasters...

Freedom, ME (Pop.: 722; Zip 04941) / "Find The Cost Of Freedom" - Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young (1971; LP: 4 Way Street). Appropriately, one of the smallest towns matches up with the shortest song in the CSNY catalog...

Lagrange, ME (Pop.: 677; Zip 04453) / "La Grange" - ZZ Top (1973; LP: Tres Hombres). Too obvious to not make the list, really....
