Champaign, Illinois

A bunch of random pictures set to the song "Champaign, Illinois" as sung by Carl Perkins. Co-written by Carl and Bob Dylan in 1969.
Note: I realize that a number of these shots are of Urbana locations. I don't care. I don't have the time, or inclination, to go around and take enough pictures of Champaign only spots to fill 3 minutes. If this bothers you, feel free to make your own video. The only point of this was to get this badass song on the internet so people could know it exists.

Bob Dylan did note in the liner notes to his first album released in 1962 by Columbia that Carl Perkins was one of his biggest influences. Dylan has performed Carl Perkins' classic "Matchbox" several times, including duets with Johnny Cash and Carl Perkins himself. Not many people know that Bob Dylan was heavily influenced by Carl Perkins and Sun Records, including Elvis Presley.

Ha...I can't believe it's been 15 years since I graduated from UIUC and I only just found out this song existed! Cool song- from the sound of it I wouldn't have guessed it was sung by Carl Perkins OR co-written by Bob Dylan. Pretty funky blues from an old school rockabilly dude!

You do realize that Altgled Hall, the Alma Mater, the Boneyard, that statue of Lincoln, the courthouse, Krannert, and the quad/Union are in Urbana, right? I understand that the two towns blend a lot, but they are not the same.
