What happened to Dan Fogelberg on Christmas Eve 1975 in East Bluff, Peoria, Illinois? "Same Old Lang Syne" holds the answers.

Weezer takes a sardonic look at the upscale enclave of Beverly Hills, California on their 2005 hit.

Bobbie Gentry has written one of the most talked about songs of the century. The mystery endures: what DID Billie Joe throw off the Tallahatchie Bridge?

• Bob from Southern CaliforniaI grew up not far from the Missouri River. So when I heard this song I always pictured the "Tallahatchie Bridge" as something like the Pony Express bridge in St. Joseph or the ASB in Kansas City, a huge bridge several dozen feet above a massive river. I've been trying to figure out which of the several bridges over the Tallahatchie was the specific Tallahatchie Bridge mentioned in the song, and a) I can't find any point at which the Tallahatchie River is terribly near Choctaw Ridge, b) in a lot of spots calling the Tallahatchie a river is being pretty generous, c) none of the Tallahatchie crossings I looked at were particularly impressive or looked like they'd be all that dangerous to jump off of; a lot of them are those sort of bridges where you have to look close to notice that it's actually a bridge and not just a section of road with a guardrail for some reason. Does anybody know what bridge Gentry had in mind?

The perfect background music for that sun-drenched trip to the Florida Keys.
