I think what's interesting about Alice Munro, too, is the extreme mundanity of things. And how even a life reduced to complete mundanity, like capitalism taking over rural Ontario or whatever, has complete sway over aspects of life.

But obviously I'm not singing about what he's singing about. What we want out of our songs is not the same thing.
