POP CULTURE
The episode title is a reference to a quote from W.C. Fields: "Here lies W.C. Fields. I would rather be living in Philadelphia."
Richard: Well, all in all, I think I'd rather be in Philadelphia. Rory: Ronald Reagan. Richard: Quoting W.C. Fields.
Babette: He's like Warren Beatty, your dad—or Sean Connery or—who's that one I always found so sexy? The evil politician with the glasses—Henry Kissinger!
Rory: Here's this. I also found a bunch of his albums – Bobby Short singing Cole Porter, a couple of his favorite Gershwin ones – "Rhapsody in Blue" and "An American in Paris" – also a couple of Scott Joplin records, although Scott Joplin might be a little zazzly for the hospital. Logan: Yeah, I don't know what their policy about ragtime is.
Rory: Oh, I also found Chuck Berry at the Fillmore, which I gave him for his 60th birthday. Also, a little Schubert and Debussy, which should be nice and relaxing. Although I didn't find the Bing Crosby album I wanted. It's with his son Gary. It's this song called "When You and I Were Young, Maggie Blues." And when grandpa hears it he sings along and says, "I always wanted to be a crooner."
