Rebecca Black's video "Friday" has taken the Internet by storm since being posted to Youtube a month ago. Unfortunately, a largely unappreciative audience has criticized the 13 year-old's rather insightful look into the difficulties faced by children raised in privileged homes. On the outside, Ms. Black does an admirable job of painting the veneer of the joyous care-free life of the Jr. high-school crowd, but a closer look at the lyrics reveals a disturbing undercurrent of unlicensed motor-vehicle operation, unsupervised socializing, and, inevitably, alcohol and drug abuse.

I've always felt the below quote from Carlin to be fairly close to the truth. In some ways, George was just living out Plato's Allegory of the Cave with modestly more perceptive interpretations than his fellow prisoners. In other ways, the situation is worse than he thought, especially in light of Citizens United.Write Comment (0 comments) |
