Back to the land of California, to my sweet home Chicago Notes: 1) California is a synonym for the golden opportunities that was present in Chicago for a Blues Musician. The reason California is used is because of the golden opportunities related to the Gold Rush. 2) Iowa is sung Iowaayyy as in Io - "way". This should supposedly be on purpose.
