Review of Casey Jones

I enjoyed this piece so much more than I expected to. I grew up hearing songs about Casey Jones in the classroom, on cartoons, and on the radio. But to hear this well thought out story about Casey's life and legend was just incredible. I appreciate the wealth of information presented in this piece, and I was especially moved by one of Hal's last remarks. I certainly cannot imagine Michael Jordan or Oprah living forever in a folk song...
