Saul Bellow = pretty much my favorite novelist of all time, but I can't for the life of me figure out why he is referenced in this song. He was a longtime central figure at the University of Chicago, and he was a highly opinionated, often outspoken genius, so I think this is another example of Sufjan Stevens taking a song he wrote and connecting it to Illinois in an extremely tenuous way so that it could go on his Illinoise album (or this outtakes album that wouldn't exist without the Illinoise album).
@stupid_name Agree. It was a good idea to cut it. I keep wondering how he could have added the Henny Buggy Band and (even more) No Man\'s Land. I have thoughts but I\'m not Sufjan.
