Never been there, but I've had a romantic image of it ever since reading John Steinbeck's Grapes of Wrath in middle school, which is only reinforced by songs like "Okie from Muskogee." When I was 11, the deadliest attack by domestic terrorists in history targeted the Federal Alfred P. Murrah building in Oklahoma City, flattening a school or day care. More recently it has given us the distinguished senior Senator from Massachusetts. You never know what to expect from Oklahoma.
...what part of the
lyrics to "Okie from Muskogee" gives you an idealized view of Oklahoma? Is it the part about holdin' hands and pitchin' woo?
