  • Accidentally-Correct Writing: Tom Johnston came up with an idea for a song called "China Grove", and invented a tiny Texas town "down around San Antone" to match the name. Or so he thought. There really is a small town bordering San Antonio named China Grove, which Johnston was astonished to learn later. He concluded that it was a case of cryptomnesia; the band had been on tour in San Antonio and he probably saw the name on a sign, but forgot about it while it burrowed into his subconscious.
