Boone County 01:47
You're a sliver of land You're a rectangle You might not have Rockford But you got Poplar Grove You tried to take Cherry Vale But Winnebago has more In the Township of Bonus There's a lot in store Boone County But you got fuckin' Belvidere And that godforsaken Chrysler plant

Universe 01:42
This is the dumbest song I’ve ever written So please turn to your neighbor and look at them Right side or left side Look them dead in the eyes Give them a hug Or maybe a handshake Or give them a kiss if you’re comfortable But just acknowledge your neighbor Because this is the dumbest song I’ve ever written And I’m really upset about it So let’s spread some positivity And turn to your neighbor and hug them Give them a high five Just do something to acknowledge them It’s good to acknowledge one another Let’s spread the positivity for the dumbest song I’ve ever written

about

The year was 2022. The season you ask? Spring. Drake County and I were waxing poetic about our neighboring counties and we fell onto the topic of Boone County. We both shared our memories and knowledge of the land, and went about our day.

As summer rolled on it came time to begin prepping for Harvard's legendary Free Punk Fest. The final one of its kind! Instead of preparing a real set, I wrote five brand new songs and threw in a couple covers. To honor our conversation I wrote a song about Boone County with the premise of the song being that, although Boone didn't have much, at least it had the Chrysler Plant in Belvidere.

Imagine my surprise and heartbreak when December rolled around and Chrysler announced they would be closing down their Belvidere location. What will Boone County be known for now?

Garden Prairie?

HA! I think not!

To honor Boone County and the former employees of the Chrysler plant the lyrics have not been altered. We will instead continue to pretend that the factory is still fully operational.

Unless you check Google.

Then you'll discover that it's Permanently Closed.
