Mass Pike

I'd previously praised the Federal Highway Administration's list of songs about highways but looking more closely it doesn't even include "Mass Pike" by the Get-Up Kids so maybe big government doesn't work after all.

How about "the turnpike was frosted from Stockbridge to Boston..." in Sweet Baby James; or, Paul Simon's "counting the cars on the New Jersey Turnpike..." ?

If I had the powers of Stalin I'd erase the get-up kids from history.

I like the Getup Kids but that song is incredibly annoying.

Matt, not sure if this is on your list, but as a basketball fan, it really should be.

Apparently your links have overloaded the server -- I can't get a page any more.

Too bad the federal government doesn't have like, you know, resources and stuff.

Yeah, they don't even have "85" by Youngbloodz.
