The Most Philosophical Song You Ever Heard
I've always liked Bob Geldof's "Thinking Voyager 2 Type Things" https://youtu.be/N8yMsZnRA8o And then he flips to the opposite end of the spectrum with"The Great Song Of Indifference" https://youtu.be/EQuVvbJ6aPw |
@sgreg1, "Again this is only my opinion and you too are entitled to yours and I will nit assume you are a “snot nosed young punk kid” as only they are capable of liberal utopia views." "snot nosed young punk kid" with a whole host of parental/authority issues? Thankfully most of them/us grow out of that phase. As soon as you’re born they make you feel small By giving you no time instead of it all ’Til the pain is so big you feel nothing at all A working class hero is something to be A working class hero is something to be They hurt you at home and they hit you at school They hate you if you’re clever and they despise a fool ’Til you’re so f*ck*ng crazy you can’t follow their rules A working class hero is something to be A working class hero is something to be When they’ve tortured and scared you for 20 odd years Then they expect you to pick a career When you can’t really function, you’re so full of fear A working class hero is something to be A working class hero is something to be Keep you doped with religion, and sex, and T.V. And you think you’re so clever and classless and free But you’re still f*ck*ng peasants as far as I can see A working class hero is something to be A working class hero is something to be There’s room at the top they are telling you still But first you must learn how to smile as you kill If you want to be like the folks on the hill A working class hero is something to be A working class hero is something to be If you want to be a hero well just follow me If you want to be a hero well just follow me A great sentiment no doubt part inspired by Janov and his Primal Scream therapy, but a couple of questions still remain. Did Lennon ever manage to find out the real identities of these "folks on the hill"? Secondly, just why did JWL (acc to Goldman) retire to a darkened isolated room with just a TV for company for years and years? Thirdly, who was paying Chapman? That’s the trouble with philosophy, it has a habit of trying to continually swallow its own tail. Even the so called answers only lead to more questions. https://www.gq.com/story/john-lennon-plastic-ono-band http://www.primaltherapy.com/about-john-lennon-primal-therapy.php |
