The route moves between lyrical geography and professional music rooms. It labels a place named in a song differently from a venue where Newman actually performed.
Locations are sequenced as a fan journey, not a plot recap. Songs, scenes and episodes lead the route; changed, private and doubled sites are labelled rather than smoothed into fiction.
5 public-place or area references. Private properties and unlocated historic sites stay off the map.
