17. Is it just a coincidence the 4:20 meme originated in San Rafael, and was home to Pearly Sweetcake?

In the laid back California town of sunny San Rafael
Lived a girl named Pearly Sweetcake you probably knew her well
She'd been stoned fifteen of her eighteen years and the story was widely told
That she could smoke 'em faster than anyone could roll
Her legend finally reached New York that Grove Street walk-up flat
Where dwelt The Calistoga Kid a beatnik from the past
With long browned lightnin' fingers he takes a cultured toke
And says "Hell I can roll 'em faster, Jim, than any chick can smoke"
So a note gets sent to San Raphael for the Championship of the World
