Worcester, MA (for non-New Englanders, that's pronounced "wuss-ter" My uncle born and raised on the Mississippi Delta says "hand me that Wooster Sauce " ...

heh...that reminds me of a bit they used to play on wbcn way the heck back in the mid-80's: it was about how to 'boston'. they had this guy trying to read off a list: "wor-cess-ter", "dor-chester-ter", "gla-ches-ter".... oh, and you forgot Lowell ("lowl") and Chelmsford ("chemsfid")

Currently the Noath Shoah, Home of, among others, "Pee-biddy," (Peabody) "Glawstuh," (Gloucester), "Swampskit," (Swampscott) "Danvizz," (Danvers) "Bevily," (Beverly), "Woo-bin" (Woburn), and my favorite, "Ruhveeeaaaaah!" (Revere). What the hell is it with New England? Some people even insist on calling Northern Massachusetts "New Hampshire" and New York's northern suburbs and landfills "Connecticut." Crazy!

Not to nitpick, but I thought it was "Whistah." But Massachusetts also insists that "Peabody" is pronounced "Peebiddy," so what the hell do I know?

It's good, classy, unpretentious pop-rock with some underlying soul. That's flipping Peter Allen's "I Go to Rio," by the way. Ask Van Helsing about it. i actually like A Place In the Sun, with the title track and "Whatcha Gonna Do?" better.
