I loved this description. Ironworker and Post Modern French Philosophers. Gonna be interesting "Ironworker"-I worked in an iron foundry in Birmingham that was later the subject of a full hour special on PBS Frontline due to employee safety abuses. At about the same time someone was trying to teach me about this French philosopher Foucault and his high-brow "world prison" models. I used to wonder what the guys working in the foundry would think about this Foucault fellow...then I would laugh. And then a vat of molten iron blew up next to me and I quit thinking about it until I wrote this song. Great chicken pickin' on that pedal steel done by Paige Waldrop.’
