"...To me, literature is something much more alive. More like a barrel of eels. When a writer creates a new eel, it wriggles its way into the barrel, muscles a path into the great teeming mass from which it came in the first place.

<i>Come on now everyone yeah
Come on now everyone
We're like a locomotive
Under the big hot sun
We're chained to the gang of rhythm
The song is never done
Come on now everyone yeah

My thoughts about this song borrow directly from an author and professor from my own home state of Michigan, Thomas C. Foster. His ideas go like this:
