GUEST,Anonymous Traveler Songs about the 'end of an era' (56* d) RE: Songs about the 'end of an era' 04 Sep 22


Utah Phillips "Look For Me In Butte" is somewhat apropos. The whole song's relevant, more or less but I particularly like the fragment from the second verse:

{
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains all the jungle fires have died
Piggyback containers, there's no place a 'bo can ride
All the bulls are gettin' surly, seems they're more inclined to shoot
I'm tired of bein' civilized so look for me in Butte
}

To a lesser extent, Utah's whole catalog more or less. I'll also throw "Gonna Leave Old Texas Now" on the pile
