Songs About Minnesota (and other states, too)

OK, I've been meaning to post about this since July 4th. In celebration of these great United States, a blogger names Robert, who has a blog called Trees Lounge, put up a huge post linking to hundreds of songs about each of the 50 states. Minnesota is in the post about the first 23, and you can go read it here (you gotta scroll down to get to get to Minnesota, it's the last one of the 23). The best part is, this guy isn't just writing about each song, or linking to where you can buy them -- if you click on the links in Robert's posts you will be able to listen to the actual song (provided you have Quicktime installed). Pretty cool.

He's promised to follow up with songs for the other 27 states, but as of this writing . . . he hasn't yet. But c'mon, you gotta go listen to Weird Al Yankovich's "Biggest Ball of Twine in Minnesota"!
