| A more important song than most people realize, I think--Tweedy is singing about the lower class in the rural midwest, and their "plight" (or, more accurately, their happy ignorance). He sounds wistful--he sings about how they have fun without cares, and don't really worry about what happens outside in the rest of the world. I like the line "Everybody is equally poor"--it hints that this song might have more social meaning than appears. A good song. | |
