... that Goodbye Normal Street was named after a street in Oklahoma, but the name was also understood as referring to the Turnpike Troubadours' life on the road? Source: https://www.newspapers.com/clip/99393467/goodbye-normal-street/

- Comment: I think this just barely slips by under the character limit; I'm open to alternate ways of phrasing to tighten it.

New enough and long enough; free of close paraphrasing and written neutrally, with information supported by in-line citations. QPQ done. I do think that you could re-phrase the hook. How do you like:

ALT 1: "... that Goodbye Normal Street was named after a street in Oklahoma, but also refers to the Turnpike Troubadours' new life touring on the road?" Rachel Helps (BYU) (talk) 21:36, 21 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- That works for me. Hog Farm _Talk 21:42, 21 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, I think since I wrote ALT 1, someone else needs to approve that hook. I approve the other aspects of this nomination as outlined in my above review. Rachel Helps (BYU) (talk) 16:18, 25 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Alt1 approved. --evrik ^(talk) 17:49, 4 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
