Remember the crabwalk.com quiz a few days back? “What two things do these people have in common? Thomas Edison! Grover Cleveland! John Fenwick! Joyce Kilmer! Clara Barton! Vince Lombardi! Walt Whitman.”
Well, props to Kim for knowing one of them: they’re all New Jerseyans famous enough to have service areas on the Jersey Turnpike named for them. (They’re name-checked in Slate this week.) And their names are yelled out, in that order, in the closing seconds of “Big Road” by the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, on their excellent 1993 release Extra Width.
