Hi all,
I thought I'd get the ball rolling for 2021 quotes with one from Walter Coleman's "I'm Gong To Cincinnati", the chorus of which is:

   I'm goin' to Cincinnati, the times is good, I'm goin' to Cincinnati where they eat fried food
   And I'm goin' to Cincinnati, boys, where [?] is good

The song is one of the current puzzlers over in Miller's Breakdown, and I can't make out that place in the last line of the chorus. That second line of the chorus sure is a winner, though, it explains the whole song.
All best,
Johnm

Where the 'liquor bottle' is good.   (?)

Gotta admit, it's a tough to beat combo, liquor and fried food.

Thanks, John, for the help. Bottle is right for sure, can't tell if what comes before it is "liquor" or "whiskey". Walter Coleman is kind of consistently mumble-mouthed there. We'll get it eventually!

"Well, I'm with you!" - Hank Aaron's response to Craig Melvin's assertion that given his incredible baseball career numbers and accolades, which included 25 All-Star selections, there is a strong case that Aaron is the greatest player of all time - https://www.today.com/news/hank-aaron-shared-how-he-wanted-be-remembered-2020-today-t206658

They also have something called Cincinnati Chili, involving spaghetti and allspice, which I believe is a felony here in New Mexico.
