I dunno if any of you are into the Garage Rock scene @ all, but I'm sure most of you have heard of The White Stripes at least (a Detroit band by the way, YEAH!!) Anyway they have a song on their new album; Elephant, that is called "Little Acorns" and it's all about a Squirrel. In the beginning this Detroit news icon, Mort Crim is on telling a story from this thing he does on the news and on some radio stations called "Second Thoughts" which are just little inspirational stories about life pretty much. Anyway, he's telling a story about this woman who at a low point in her life saw a squirrel storing nuts for the winter and she thought "If that squirrel can handle it's problems by breaking down it's tasks and taking each nut one by one, then I can take my problems one by one" then the song starts and it's all about "Being like the squirrel girl, be like the squirrel" It's such a good song regardless and even better because it's about squirrels!!!! I also totally recommend the album for anyone who is into garage rock at all!!
