“I believe it’s one of the greatest songs ever written. Nothing brings me to tears as quickly, no song ever written brings me to tears as quickly, and I believe although Dar Williams is brilliant and celebrated, I think that ‘Iowa’…deserves about a hundred thousand more flowers than it has ever gotten.
