On That Note: A Sort Of Homecoming

[MeanDean]

With the news of Colorado rejoining the Big XII, this week's OTN celebrates that in song.

So... this week we are looking for songs that have titles or lyrics of Colorado, Rockies, Mountain, Buffalo, Boulder, Ralph(ie), etc. Basically any word associated with the state or university are allowed.

In addition, any song that expresses your thoughts, feelings or emotions of this news and its positive affect on the conference, and by association, ISU.

OTN is brought to you weekly by the team of @cyclones500, @CycloneRulzzz and me.

Last week's post was "We Are 3 Together, Part 3 of 3." It is found here: https://cyclonefanatic.com/forum/threads/on-that-note-we-are-‘3’-together-part-3-of-3.279443/

My First Five

"Get Back to Where You Once Belonged"




"My brothers' lives were different
For they heard another call
One went to Chicago
And the other to St. Paul
And I'm in Colorado
When I'm not in some hotel
Living out this life I've chose"




Mentions "mountain" and Cripple Creek, which is an old mining town in Colorado

Seems like low-hanging fruit, but it goes beyond the song title — the lyrics echo the situation in some respects.

“Welcome back / Your dreams were your ticket out / Welcome back / To that same old place that you laughed about.”

“Well, the names have all changed since you hung around …”
(Not ALL the names, but several membership changes since departure)

Could be prescient for next Pac-to-Big 12 defection … Meat Puppets are based in … Arizona!

One detail, though … the band formed in Phoenix, but moved to Tempe, so maybe it’ll be Arizona State instead. (?!)
