Recently, I have been into the song Seven Island Suite. I don't know how well known this song is, but it is one of my new favorites. From my perspective, the song is talking about a place where people can go and live a more relaxed life in moderate seclusion. I have always thought about Michigan's Upper Peninsula when I hear this song, but is there an actual place that he is referring to?
One other thing-what does having "chicken to go" mean? It seems like a strange lyric, but I know Gordon meant something by it.
