The dearly missed industrial punk band Babyland had a song about Ramona (where one of the band members was from) that taught me everything I need to know about it.
Ramona
Where there’s nothing more than meets the eye
A peaceful lie for vat-grown teenage alcoholics
Unchallenged by adversity
Disjoint from history
And pinned down by boredom
In lowered trucks and concert shirts
It’s a great place for children and pets
It’s a rural cage with no need for walls
The blind youth crawl insanely towards the nets
In search of identity
They’re already condemned to
Poorly planned pregnancies and vocations
But you know what
They don’t want
(Welcome to Del Taco, may I take your order?)
