"Up on Cripple Creek she sends me", how many times have you heard that song on the radio? Those musicians, Bob Dylan's band, 'The Band', lived and created their music right here in West Saugerties, New York in a house they nicknamed 'Big Pink'.
The Lyrics
"It took me 16 hours to get to L.A.
Gonna write me up a 125
Post my face wanted dead or alive
Take my license, all that jive
I can't drive 55!"
Sammy Hagar claims that he was traveling through Albany when he got the speeding ticket that inspired his '80s hit "I Can't Drive 55!"
