La Fin de la Semaine Essay Question: Special "A Nightingale Sang in Forest Hills" Edition

So a certain Shady Dame and I are back from London town, safe and sound. We had a terrific time, seeing and doing a lot of nifty things, including the way cool show of Paul McCartney's 1963-64 Beatles photography at the National Portrait Gallery, and the equally way cool exhibition of art and poetry by everybody's favorite pre-Raphaelites The Rossettis at the Tate Britain.

Hell, we even slummed it a bit by taking in the London production of the Back to the Future musical which, apart from the onstage Delorean, was just okay, but how often do I get to say I'm seeing a show with music written by the drummer -- Alan Silvestri -- of my high school rock band?

I mean really? How excellent is that?

We did not, however and alas, get to visit this celebrated-in-song-and-story spot...

...which was actually in walking distance of our hotel, but hey -- you can't have everything. Maybe next time.

Anyway, given that we're back in our Queens digs, bonding anew with Mickey, the world's cutest six-toed pussycat, it's time to move on to musical business.

To wit:

...and your favorite (or least favorite, if you have one) post-Elvis pop/rock/soul/country/folk song referencing the idea of home, specifically, or just the larger concept of finding shelter, is...?

Discuss.

In case you were wondering, I'm voting for this one (just to reinforce the Brit theme of the week's previous posts).

I think "wow" is the word for that.

Anyway, have a great weekend, everybody!!!.

And I promise some actual new music, made recently, will loom large in next week's postings!!!
