Title: Exit 353
Post by: coatimundi on December 15, 2016, 04:51:55 PM
There is a song by Damien Jurado, a Seattle-based artist, on his latest album called "Exit 353". I initially just thought it was in reference to an exit in Washington, but there is no such exit. The closest seems to be on I-84, in Oregon.
But that may not be it. Based on the video, there may be a gas station involved in the story, and it looks there was a gas station at #353 in Oregon. The lyrics give very little hint.
He writes a lot of songs about locations, particularly in the central part of the country (mainly Texas and Nebraska). Any thoughts? What's an Exit 353 that would deserve a song named after it?

I-80 Exit 353 - It leads to US 81 in York, Nebraska. Not sure if it helps.

The Jacksonville Jaguars could do a parody; Everbank Field is Exit 353B off of I-95.
