Nevermind

 

Not far from Graceland ,another Paul Simon reference is buried.

 

This one I was not familiar with. It took some searching. Nice choice. The location is New Park Cemetery, the final resting ground for Johnny Ace.

Mentioned in a 1970s famous song about the civil war.It is considered to be one of the best songs ever written.

 

The band is in the Rock Roll Hall of Fame.Inducted soon before the museum opened.The song is in the top 500 songs list of both RRHF and Rolling Stone.

 

Mojo, it might just be you and me keeping the thread alive.

"Virgil Caine is my name and I drove on the Danville train..."

The image is Richmond and appropriately so.


This Grammy winner used a large reptile in place of field artillery.

 

I'm in. The music theme is kicking by butt.

 

I'm sorta watching from the sidelines...glad to see the thread revived.

 

Whoops, sorry for another musical post. But at least it has historical references.

 

All I've got is that it is an East coast port. Deep water due to the large cargo ship. It is some kind of monument. The music connection has got me again.

Might need a clue on this one.

 

How about 18 and 14 ? I'll let you battle with that clue for now.

Jean Lafitte National Historical Park and Preserve site of the 1815 Battle of New Orleans

Jackson -Grammy winner?

 

Jimmy Horton got the grammy for the song Battle of New Orleans. (So, we took a little trip, down the mighty Mississip...)

 

No song ever written about this place.
In the news a lot lately.

 

How about the Federal Reserve! washington dc - Google Maps

(Took some searching around DC. The image looked and smelled of DC but I didn't recognize the building.)

Sorry, but Mojo, you are evidently wrong. At least one song was written, see The Federal Reserve Song - Gold & Silver Forum

Unfortunately, with Google it is difficult to make a good hint without giving it away. So I'll have to be obtuse.

The quote is mangled as "..., I have no separation now..."

 

This was not immortalized by Tennyson.

 

I'm going to need more on this one.

 

Me too, I just spent the good part of a night going through the thread.. now I'm hooked but Tennyson references do me no good

I have a few good ones to add if I can find one first.
