Valparaiso, Indiana



While driving back from a gig in Michigan, I stopped in Valparaiso, Indiana.  Valparaiso is known for its great college basketball program but is also the birthplace of Orville Redenbacher.  After the popcorn King's death, the town erected this statue in honor of his contributions to the world.  I stopped by to pay my respects.  Before leaving, I thanked Orville for the damage his product has done to my cholesterol and colon.  He offered no response.
