welll, the point of having songs about the area you are passing thru
is very apparent if the place is so large that it takes 6-8 hours to drive thru it on a road which is basically level and straight..this
to keep you from nodding out along the way and to convince you there
is something going on around you besides "flat stuff".
and so that when you get to the other side you know more than
when you started.
