In my quest* to learn all the places in Johnny Cash’s “I’ve Been Everywhere”
I’ve gotten this far: Reno, Chicago, Fargo, Minnesota, Buffalo, Toronto, Winslow, Sarasota, Wichita, Tulsa, Ottawa, Oklahoma, Tampa, Panama, Mattawa, La Paloma.
Only 100 left!

"There’s also the unexpected progressivism from an otherwise chauvinistic T.I. with his song entitled “Freak Though.” In it, the self-appointed “King of the South” admits to falling in love with a woman known in his neighborhood for being sexually promiscuous. Instead of embracing the wrongheaded misogyny of the oft-repeated claim “you can’t turn a ho into a housewife,” he accepts who she is and loves her, not just in spite of, but because of it. Though he still thinks she may be “a tad misguided,” ultimately he refuses to allow anyone to judge her or himself for the choices either of them has made."

"Sarcasm is important to me,” I said, swatting the air, waving away her expertise in one deft move. Therapists love when you do that. “It’s a generational thing. It’s how we talk to one another.” “Well,” she said, “I have a lot of patients who think sarcasm is important, and it’s not helping any of you."

I’ve never quite forgotten that line from A Separate Peace, where the protagonist notes: “Sarcasm… the protest of the weak.”
Irony is a different story, though, maybe?
