Maine (50 Songs For 50 States)

This guy likes Maine lobster.

We regret, sort of, that we never got to Maine when we lived in New England. We visited the other four states besides Connecticut where we lived for a few years, but Maine remained elusive. A place where people said they were getting away for the weekend on canoe tips or camping. We insisted chose to go to New York City or Boston when free time allotted. Like Even Dando once said, "I lied about being the outdoor type...." That ball falls in my court.

What I do know is they have lobster. No, I can't put in "Rock Lobster" here. We've got to have the state in the title of the song to stay consistent. Thank goodness their is an ex-fisherman from "The Pine Tree State" who got a record contract over the last decade and recorded a low fi experimental rap album. And mad kudos for JD Walker, the ex fisherman, who released a song about his state in 2005. We need more urban fisherman to release albums in the future. It's called "Maine Wharf" and it makes me want to go eat a lobster roll. Here's to JD Walker and Maine.
