Sweet Papa Crimbo Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 The Calfornia Stars in the song probably doesn't refer only to "Movie" Stars and the brilliant points of light. It is also a classical quilting block. That Woody Guthrie. Simple and complex all at the same time Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The High Heat Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 Wow! How'd you come across this info? Here's another design: This actually makes more sense. It's much easier to lay on a quilted bed than on a bed of stars. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Queen Amaranthine Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 VERY cool bit of history and it makes perfect sense in the song. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
deepseacatfish Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Neat find, definitely makes sense in the context of the words. Though I'm sure there is some imaginative play with those images as well in the words of the song itself. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
