| Grandaddy – Our Dying Brains Lyrics | 7 years ago |
|
Modesto native - This song is about stagnation and disappearing. Albers and Geer are basically the same street, running east of Modesto, in the county, connecting a couple of smaller towns. CSU Stanislaus is right off of Geer, when you get into Turlock (a town south of Modesto). Huge orchard parties happen east of Modesto, away from cops and any other self respecting human. Albers (one of said country roads) ends up running south into the center of Turlock, right up to the university. And apparently the party continued in the Science hall. I myself used to get drunk at elementary schools late at night, so it seems plausible! But... even if you're going to college in Modesto or Turlock, you're looking at a life of bland, bland, drugs and/or crime. It's a bad place. If you get out, you are lucky. Work at a Taco Bell and Starbucks at the same time in San Francisco? Better than being part of the walking dead of Modesto. rant over :) |

| Grandaddy – Levitz (Birdless) Lyrics | 7 years ago |

Modesto native - Levitz WAS right off the Briggsmore exit of Highway 99, and the parking lot ends up as a frequent meeting place for people coming from out of town, and ready for a night of drinking. Not giving up... but not showing up to a guaranteed bad night. |
