An old man in a Billy Currington song says
“God is great, beer is good, people are crazy”
Hmm
I once a heard a song by a band called Funkadelic. A line goes :
“You rise as high as your dominant aspiration. You descend to the level of your lowest concept of your self. Free your mind and your ass will follow”
Interesting.
What do you think?

He thought he would try loving again. He met this girl that was ideal for his personality. They set a time, date and location to meet.
She was a “No Show”.
Great song.
I cant think of any great wisdom in pop music but theres a lot in this song
If you want great wisdom in music, you need to look a little deeper than pop songs.
Great wisdom can be found anywhere, but…
…it’s worthless if you can’t recognize it.
And if you can recognize it, you probably understand that you recognize your own wisdom projected outwardly

There’s a lot of philosophy, emotion, and serious subjects in country music. I like the one about alcoholism, “I Can’t Get My Foot Off the Rail.”
Of course it can.

An interesting little website.
I thoroughly enjoy “Where is the Love” by Black Eyed Peas, “Hands Held High” by Linkin Park, and “Mathematics” by Mos Def! I find all three are full of great meaning and truth.
