i dont know if i see any salinger connection, with the cat, theres a chance, but in reference to "Teddy" and the elephant being big only because were taught that theyre big, i just dont see it.
...i really like his description about what the kid did throughout the long ride, you wouldnt think 'battleship' and 'crosswords' would be things found in great song lyrics but each makes this song great. i like his mentioning of his teacher being more impactful than any politician or musician was...a lot of teachers don't live up to the standards of what it means to truly teach. with the benefits and the diminishing lack of prestige tied to the position, it makes sense. but, to the teachers out there that do influence and lead, they make up for the majorities shortcomings. One quality teacher, at any age, gives hope to the academic institution. this is a cool way of giving them their due because you will never hear them asking for it.
