The song honestly always makes me think of Boulder Creek,
where the deep woods seem to collect the ones who are a
little too strange to wander the streets of Santa Cruz.
When we lived there, there were two bars in town, each
with a tee shirt and motto.
The Boulder Club, whose motto was
"Don't start anything you can't finish".
And Sam's, whose shirts read
"One funny move and you're out of here".
Sam's was always more of your traditional family type bar.
