    Would you be inclined to visit a location because of a song ?

    Like if youre in the area would you climb 'Little Solsbury Hill' because of Peter Gabriels 'Solsbury Hill' (tbh that song makes the area sound amazing)

    'Waterloo Sunset' is about a standard Bridge in London. Prob wouldn't even think of the song if you see it

    'Cedarwood Road' by U2 is a run of the mill housing estate

    Cuyahoga by REM makes me want to go to Ohio to check out the titular river.

    It's a fascinating story about a river so polluted it went on fire on multiple occasions. By pure coincidence, it featured in Time magazine in the same edition as the Moon Landings and the Chappaquiddick affair so it garnered worldwide coverage.. apologies for the tangent..

    I was in Philadelphia a few years back and went for a stroll one evening around the city. By chance Streets of Philadelphia started playing. I played it a few more times on my walk. Wouldn't mind doing the same to Walking in Memphis in Memphis!
