I do too. I love both of his Illinoise and Michigan albums. You have to understand that that is a profoundly daunting task. He's got 48 states to go. Even if he did two albums a year, it would take him 24 years to complete that task. He'd be in his 60's by then.

With the music industry being as sadly *****ed up as it is and other distractions, I very much doubt he could ever pull it off. I'd love to see him keep it afloat as long as he can because Illinoise is one of the most interesting albums to come out in a long time. I'd love to hear his songs regarding states like Kansas, California, Missouri, Colorado, and Florida. (The states I've lived in).
