Lyle Lovett - Baltimore

With all that's in the news recently, and the recent Zappa post, this came to mind. Lyle Lovett, Baltimore.

While some people in Charm City think this is a dis towards Baltimore, I've always taken it as Lyle said: He decided to take a trip, and his grandmother begged him not to, because she knew she was dying and would never see him again if he took that trip. He went anyway, and she was right.

While I don't want to read too much in to this, I think there could be a metaphor with the current trump situation, with his party asking "Please don't go to Baltimore", but he does anyway.
