I chose the song where’s the love by the black eye peas. I think this song captures how America is now. In the first verse, People livin’ like they ain’t got no mamas i think the whole world addicted to drama, has so much to do with today’s society, there’re people that are walking away from their kids, and how the news shows explain situations it’s just publicizing the drama going around in the nation. In the second verse, Overseas, yeah, we try to stop terrorism but we still got terrorists here living, after we captured Osama bin laden a lot of people thought we’d get out of the middle east within a short period of time, but that all happen May 2, 2011 and I’m sure there are still people being shipped out there for help. I know if we just took everyone out there right away there would be huge problems but, I don’t even think anyone is coming back. If you listen to the song and just think about all of the drama in problems happing in society you’d think this song was just mad recently, because of how accurate it is.
I liked all the points that you made, and it was neat how you bolded the lyrics, I really liked that! I've always liked this song, I don't know why, but it's just something that I've always liked. The problem is that I've never truly listened to the lyrics, so when I was reading what you had to say about the song, it made me think more about what this song is referring to. When I was little Courtney brought up the point that it mentions the "KKK", and I stopped listening to it. hahah! I think that now I can find a deeper meaning to it and after reading what you had to say, I realize that it relates to our society.
