What if Deep Purple had been B-road stars?

(I apologise for using the British term here but it doesn't really work as well with anything else - in the UK B-roads are for the most part unimproved single carriageway roads which link villages and small towns and I'm not sure what their US equivalent is)

[AlreadyGone95]

I agree that it doesn't sound right.(I cracked myself up when I thought of it) I'm pretty sure that a song of that title wouldn't be a beautiful ballad, though.

In the US, we have interstates(the biggest), US highways, state highways, county maintained roads, and dirt roads. Interstates and US highways go across more than one state(they are 4 or 6 lanes). State highways connect the cities and towns of a state(usually 2 lanes and well kept). County maintained roads (aka "the back roads") are usually older roads than do the same thing as state hughways, but aren't state maintained. They tend to be narrow and full of potholes. Dirt roads are usually used to connect places, like farms, or to get to places that are in the countryside. They're not well traveled usually, so there's little need in paving them. The "b-road" equivalent is probably a county maintained road. (Hope you enjoyed this lesson in US roadways, lol)
