Interesting. It seems that way when I try to load pages with a repeated gif on my crappy satellite interwebs, but I'm happy to be disabused of that false assumption. Thanks, Dan!

Actually for the purposes of this map and the song, Virginia *does* serve as the last in the East Coast before you hit the South. You could also say that Minnesota technically qualifies as Midwest farm, though I wouldn't quibble either with MN, WI and MI all getting the northern treatment. I can see the argument as Texas for South, but really, Texas is kinda its own thing.

The line is "Carolina girls really knock me out," so they've got to stop at Virginia.

You need to teach it to the rest of the state and elsewhere. I don't deny Michigan being a northern state, but I'm rather positive as somebody who has lived here all of my life that people in Michigan primarily identify themselves as being from the Midwest. Even Michigan's fight song says, "The champions of the West!" and not champions of the North!

As a Michigander, I've always considered Michigan as "Mid-West" (as do most).
I've never associated a north or south with the term mid-west, and always thought it was a comparison to the east coast. I guess I've assumed that there is a large population in the "east" (especially in the beginnings of the country), and the mid-west was part of the move to "head west". And since the midwestern states aren't just "west", they became the mid-west. So, I guess most see (if you ignore north and south) East, Mid-West, and West. And, I've never understood why the southern/middle states aren't also mid-west. |

As far as Minnesota goes I've usually heard it considered Midwest, but also Great Lakes and Great Plains.

Born & raised, I have always understood Michigan to be considered midwest. I wish it was more eastern, but in reality it is unfortunately VERY southern (not geographically, but culturally)

The line about Northern girls keep their boyfriends warm is not talking about Alaska, c'mon - people live there? (j/k). It's addressing Minnesota. So, while Minnesota is a Midwestern state, for the purposes of the song, Minnesota is a "northern" state. Similarly, I would expect North (and South) Dakota, Michigan and Wisconsin to be the "northern" states of the song, where the girls keep their boyfriends warm. I suppose you have to stick Montana/Alaska in there too, but I doubt the rocker was really thinking about Montana. If he was, it would have been a country song.

It started as a dissection of the US according to Brian Wilson from the Beach Boys' California Girls. Then it quickly devolved into people being mildly upset about what was included in which section.

The sad thing is that the rest of the state has the opposite opinion, while the world pretty much sees things as you do. So the rest of the state dumps on Detroit and the rest of the world says "WTF happened to Detroit." The Sleeping Bear Dunes do rock though, getting back to cool images.  |
