Go often awry,
And leave us nothing but grief and pain,
For promised joy!"
-Robert Burns, To A Mouse
While everybody is on the 50 Shades Of Grey hype, I've decided to read a book where my favorite band, Of Mice & Men, got their name based on the themes. The themes include having set plans being ruined and chasing the American Dream.
The book is also based on a poem, To A Mouse, by Robert Burns which I've quoted one version of a piece of the poem(in standard English) above. I decided to include this quote because Jaxin Hall(former bassist) mentions it in an old interview. Check it out here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yqOg96SSM9o&feature=youtube_gdata_player
