C/Kain, Springsteen and Steinbeck

Today we (Thomas, Jimmy and I) were riding in the car, listening to "The Ghost of Tom Joad," covered by Rage Against the Machine. Thomas mentioned to Jimmy (my stepson) that it was actually a cover of a Bruce Springsteen song, which led him then to relate that it was based on a John Steinbeck character from Grapes of Wrath. Then he added that Springsteen was a big fan of Steinbeck, to which Jimmy replied that "that made sense" to him. Then Thomas went on about Steinbeck and Springsteen and mentioned that he had been wanting to play the song "Adam Raised a Cain" for Jimmy. Just then we pulled up to a red light behind an SUV with a logo from JACK KAIN AUTO SALES.
