A few of my favorites:
Wisconsin:
from Diamonds on My Windshield, The Heart of Saturday Night (1974)
"...And a Wisconsin hiker with a cue-ball head
He's wishing he was home in a Wiscosin bed
But there's fifteen feet of snow in the East
Colder then a welldigger's ass
And it's colder than a welldigger's ass..."
Minneapolis:
from Ninth & Hennepin, Rain Dogs (1985)
"Well it's Ninth and Hennepin
All the doughnuts have names that sound like prostitutes
And the moon's teeth marks are on the sky..."
Sheboygan:
from Circus, Reel Gone (2004)
"...And Funeral Wells spun
Poodle Murphy on the target
As he threw his hardware,
Only once in Sheboygan did he miss
At a matinee on Diamond Pier and
She'd never let him forget it..."
