Wtf Sufjan Stevens
I have just found out that he made a song called Jacksonville, which is where my grandparents lived for my entire childhood. I've played in Nichol's Park and I've been on the ferris wheel.
This is so surreal. lol

Yeah, his whole album was about Illinois. I personally love Chicago myself.

Yeah, I've heard that song too, but being from Springfield, I have a personal vendetta against Chicago.

Buuuut, I've gone soft on the issue, and that song is my MySpace song. Haha.

I'm listening to the album, and I'm loving getting all these references. :)

I only got that one after some Wikipedia searching, lol. I was only 9 when I left, I wasn't very knowledgeable about the murderers of the great state's history.

But yeah, it is. Haha.

I love the Jacksonville song. The only other songs as good as that one are every other song on that album.

I listened to this album again yesterday, after a year or so of not listing to it. Great stuff.
Cool that he's singing about your place! :) I, as a Dutch, don't even have a good idea of Illinois as a whole.
