I'm not quite sure Stevens has a connection with the community but Byrne's was real. She was a progressive reformer that did much for Chicago, from what I've read on her at least. Either way, we need more progressives like her in office today. On a note more related to the song, what a funky little track. Stevens' "The Avalanche" is a nice supplement to the very popular "Illinois."
