This paper seems very similar to one of the wheels I was trying to simultaneously spin around and re-invent in my previous entry, though centered more around the Indian diaspora than what I'd been poking at. I'll have to read it more carefully when my brain cell is working again.

And yes, of course there's a gulf of homelessnesses(es) between the metaphorical state of rootless cosmopolitans and the literal state of unemployed mental illness in a cardboard box; existential angst sometimes seems a decadent luxury reserved for those with the leisure to contemplate their existence rather than exhausting themselves for the mere sustenance thereof. Still, there but for the grace of the wombat-consort go I.

Just jotting down another link for me to come back and read later. Either this is not my day for parsing complex sentences, or I'm not picking particularly good sentences to attempt to parse.

"Based on what you've told us so far, we're playing this track because it features acoustic rock instrumentation, mild rhythmic syncopation, acoustic sonority, a busy horn section, and a prominent accordion part."

Please sir, may I have some more cowbell?

Actually, what I'm really dying for is more mandolin. There's just something about rock mandolins that makes me go "OoooOOOooo". And horn sections. The use of horns by Chicago is one of the few redeeming virtues I can cite for their deliriously cheezmo power ballads to which I am nevertheless addicted. I blame teen imprinting because I can.
