Steve Goodman was a terrific songwriter that died way too young. He said his "City of New Orleans" was nothing more than his observations and account of a trip on the Illinois Central. He was a big Cubs fan and wrote a few songs about his hapless heros, including "Go Cubs Go" which I think became kind of a theme song for the team. In "The Dying Cubs Fan's Last Request" he wrote: "You know the law of averages says: Anything will happen that can. That's what it says. But the year the Cubs last won a National League pennant Was the year we dropped the bomb on Japan" Sadly, or ironically, or just perhaps in his honor, a few days after Steve died, the Cubs won the National League pennant.
