Are there any songs about Minnesota?

This photo, I think, sums up Wisconsin pretty perfectly:



I don’t have much to say about Minnesota, for two main reasons:
a) Minneapolis is where I put my camera through a warm wash and cold rinse, and
b) Minneapolis is also where a particular friend of mine now lives, to whom the term “college drinking buddy” would not be unapplicable.
Therefore, I neither saw much of the city nor would have had the chance to document it photographically had I seen it. The bit that I did see looked very nice; it was quite a clean city, and I was amused by the series of skywalks that stretched from building to building across the streets downtown, although I was also glad that I was leaving without experiencing the winter cold that necessitated an enclosed network for pedestrian traffic.

This was just a strange thing to drive past, on my way out of Minnesota. Nothing like your (relatively unusual) name plastered across a billboard exhorting you to “THINK.”
