...over the American West, billboards touting such curiosities as 60-ft. cacti and petrified armadillos lure travelers from the interstates to the tourist emporiums of dusty towns. Lacking any such magnet, Clayton, N. Mex.

It's a humorless song--and without a sense of humor, upbeat L.A. rock can be terribly dull...
