California, the Golden State; the place where dreams of movie stardom come true, the land where big fortunes are made, America’s last frontier. No state in the USA, and perhaps no other place in the planet, holds such fascination and inspires so many dreams as California does.
Even in its current situation: high unemployment, sky soaring taxes, near bankruptcy and a recent election that offered Californians a dismal choice between a washed-out, ex-governor or a billionaire carpetbagger, no matter how insurmountable our problems may seem to the rest of the world, California is STILL the place to be.
Moreover, no other place in the world has inspired so many songs as California has. DO a Google search and you will see that the list of songs about California goes on and on and on.
Here are five very different songs about California, my home state.
Enjoy!
PHANTOM PLANET – California
EAGLES – Hotel California
THE MAMAS AND PAPAS – California Dreaming
THE BEACH BOYS – California Girls
THE 5th DIMENSION – California Soul
