I think this song sums it up about slc..
I have an excellent ratdog version recorded here in Syracuse on their grand opening spring tour 2007:

Salt Lake City
Lyrics: John Barlow
Music: Bob Weir

The Dead only played this once, in Salt Lake City on 21 February 1995. They stuck very close to the version Bob Weir played with most of his bands.


It was a paradise for lizards when young Brigham saw it first
He said I've seen some nasty deserts Lord, but this one here's the worst
Then the Lord called down to Brigham, said "I've got a great idea"
I want a mighty city and I think I want it here

Salt Lake City, that town of righteousness and fame
Salt Lake City, don't sound like much, but hell what's in a name?
Nobody ever sings about it, but Lord I be going there just the same

Salt Lake City, where it's so easy keeping straight
Salt Lake City, just really makes Des Moines look second rate
Ain't making no big deal about it
But I hear the Mormon girls are really great
Salt Lake City, hey, dig that Tabernacle Choir
Salt Lake City, yeah they be bound to take you higher
There just ain't no two ways about it, yes Lord they really light my fire

Well Brigham kicked a prairie dog, and he muttered in his beard
Said you've put me through some changes Lord but this one's really weird
The Lord just laughed at Brigham, said "you'd better get to work"
The next time I check in here, I want paradise on earth

Salt Lake City, where Brigham made the desert bloom
Salt Lake City, put a colour TV in every room
And they got them crazy Mormon chicks, yes I'll be going there real soon

Salt Lake City, hey feel that magic in the air
Salt Lake City, you know that's kind of why I like it there
Salt Lake City, well you know that's where I'm bound
Salt Lake City, I'm going down to Salt Lake town

oh and btw, go to the state run liquor stores early because some of them close at seven on saturday.

Yeah I've had my share of run ins with the SLC popos.
Those guys make the cops here seem tame.

I'll agree that growing up there did give me a leg up in some areas.
Hell, up untill recent years anyone I considered a friend was back in SLC.
While they went threw hell(living there), I'd be going back on vacations & enjoying myself (wasn't my job to find the parties, haha).

What college are you going to ?
I'm sure my opinion would be alot diffrent if I would have stayed & not moved away.
A lot easier to sing OOTAH's praise from a distance.

BTW: love your screen name!

MPD: I remember when the dead rolled through SLC in 95 ... all my hippy comrades just had to go.
That song is awsome!

*edited to fix my crappy spelling*

Snowboarding is so much fun because you get so many great things. You get to be outside, play in the snow, spend time with some GREAT people, the crazier you dress the more people like you, it's a tremendous challenge, you can have lots of laughs at the expense of other people, you can fall down and laugh at yourself. I just love the whole snowboarding culture and for me, no it doesn't involve drugs or alcohol. Just pure knuckle dragging.
