Question "I Don't Want To Be Another Cannon In The Assembly Line"

[praisemichael]

Michael said it in an interview and I don't quite understand what it means, could anyone explain?

Thank you

Are you sure he said "cannon"? Could it be "cog" or "can"? Which interview are you referring to?

I think it just means he doesn't want to be like everyone else. He often spoke of being an innovator.

Michael said he 'didnt want to be another CAN on the assembley line'. He didnt want to be another artist passing through that no one will remember. He wanted to be distinguishable.
