Portland, Ore.-based indie rock band the Decemberists refer to Duluth in the song “Traveling On,” released in November on an EP of the same name.

Nations loathe you
Please let me know when I can recuse myself if I choose
Feel free to note in the comments if you have knowledge of the most recent visit to Duluth by the eldest son of the King of France.
