43. Bob Dylan mentions Ashtabula in, "You're gonna make me lonesome when you go." Does that count?

I'll look for you in old Honolulu
San Francisco or Ashtabula
You're gonna have to leave me, now I know
But I'll see you in the sky above
In the tall grass in the ones I love
You're gonna make me lonesome when you go
