Today's sunday song lyric at volokh is Paradise, the John Prine/John Denver song about cola mining. I mean coal mining, not koala mining. Last year when I drove through there I found out Paradise had been an actual town. It's underwater now thanks to the TVA. Paradise makes me think of Joni Mitchell's Big Yellow Taxi. Big Yellow Taxis make me think of Checker Cab co. I was in Kalamazoo Michigan last week and it turns out Checker Cabs were made in Kalamazoo and they have one in the museum there.
But when Joni sang big yellow taxi she meant a Toronto paddy wagon.
And the tree museum she sang about was the Foster botanical garden. They charge $5 now.
