| Green River Ordinance – Goodbye L.A. Lyrics | 14 years ago |

I actually got the chance to talk to Jamey about this song. He told me it was insprired by an incident on their tour with Collective Soul. The band was traveling to Los Angeles in their van and pulling a trailer. Jamey was driving and the rest of the band was asleep because it was late at night/early morning, he said around 3 am. They got to a hotel that they planned to stay at and found out that it had no vacancy. Jamey backed up into a yellow pole and totalled the van (he thinks because the trailer smashed into it). They ended up having to rent a van, but were stuck in LA for a week and had to cancel some shows on the tour. The song was created because they were sick of being in LA and wanted to go home. source: personal interview with Jamey 4-28-11. |
