This song pretty much sums up life in Bend, Oregon.

I'm not sure if you had this forwarded to your inbox already, (I've got it from a couple different people today) but this is a must listen for all Bend residents new and old.

The song, sung to the tune of Stealer's Wheel's "Stuck in the Middle with You," but the chorus is modified to "Stuck in the Middle of Bend" and the verses lament our high foreclosure rates, our expensive golf courses and all the other great reasons people supposedly moved here.

According to the website for KTWS "The Twins," the song was penned by Holly Hamilton. I don't know much about her, but if you do, please let me know.
