I have even more proof that "Lonesome Road" really i

I was doing some snooping around on the Vault, when I found the album that Sinatra's cover of Blue Moon is on. I looked through the rest of the tracks when I found a very interesting some name. "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lonesome_Road" is a 1927 song with music by Nathaniel Shilkret and lyrics by Gene Austin, alternately titled "Lonesome Road", "Look Down that Lonesome Road" and "Lonesome Road Blues." It was written in the style of an African-American folk song. "Lonesome Road" has been recorded in the jazz, blues, and big band music (Basically most of Fallout music). And Frank Sinatra has a http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dkOi4QbSjwI on the exact same album as Blue Moon. Of course most of us know that most of the quests in New Vegas are named after famous songs (Volare!, I Fought The Law, Ring-A Ding Ding, etc.) so this makes it even more obvious that one of the DLCs will be named Lonesome Road.

Just thought I'd share :)

We've had better proof though.

Ah, thanks for the correction, was unsure about it so I used Bethesdian as a generalization of the companies.

Well duh hur thank you Capt. Obvious. :rolleyes: I just thought I would add that even Sinatra did a song called Lonesome Road, further proving the legitimacy of the name. Maybe whoever did the mod to get a radio with all the songs that quests are named after will add it.

I think that was brought up in the same thread though.
Meh, is this info on the wikia?
If not then go to the talk tab on the wikia for Lonesome Road and tell the editors to add it in.
