Yep, there's always something funny going on in Bakersfield (apparently even decades from now!). Maybe the reason the 'visitors' are so attracted to the city is because the song sums-up their situation:
"[...] Stranded here in Bakersfield; You're so close yet so far, far away; Stranded here in Bakersfield; You're a million miles away, yeah [...]" --*Bakersfield* lyrics, Social Distortion
