Not sure how this might count as an annotation or if indeed it does, but it may be worth mentioning that a standard diagnostic indicator for schizophrenia is based on how the individual perceives the colour green. A physical effect of this mental illness is an impairment of one's ability to perceive yellow and green - strange but true. Grass, for instance, appears as a dull unhealthy cyanic blue-green colour with most of the "yellow" that gives it its brightness bleached out. Effectively, blue grass. Or possibly the default mental state of somebody living in an area with high background magic, who has experienced waking up in the morning in a different bodily shape from the one they had when they went to bed? --AgProv 15:26, 27 June 2007 (CEST)

Bluegrass country to me will always be Kentucky, the Bluegrass state, where Bluegrass music is played by the quaint locals. The mountains of Kentucky -- Appalachia -- have a serious Lancre vibe. Mrs. Flitworth would be quite at home in the rural portions of the state, that is, nearly all of it.Moishe Rosenbaum (talk) 03:24, 8 April 2018 (UTC)
