Henry Ford

Today in my TA class, the history of technology, we learned about Henry Ford and his Model T. The professor played this "music video," basically a six-minute biography set to folksy music. I thought it was hilarious. The chorus goes:

Henry Ford
He's a self-made man
Henry Ford
With a simple plan
Henry Ford
Showed us time after time how to build a better life with an assembly line.

There's also a song about Henry Ford in the musical Ragtime that I like a lot. One of the lines goes, "Even workers who ain't too clever, can learn to tighten a nut forever!" I'm not saying that's a good thing, I'm just saying it's a fun song.
