Don't Let The Beat Fool You!

In class we heard this folk song about a week or so ago. I thought it was a joke and defiantly not a style that I like listening to but once we got the lyrics and begain to sing along, ( thanks boys for entertaning me with the echo of the end of just about every line) :) dissect, an analyze, the song I begain to get the deeper meaning of what we are singing. Like I notice she blow his head off and goes to the funeral but yet no where does it talk about her going to jail or getting in trouble, and it says there is no moral so….. its like its saying there is no good in men and its like every one expects it.. he had it coming.


So may times we listen to music dancing in our seats, nodding our heads and loving the sick beat. and AMAZINGLY… JUST after listing to it once or twice we already know the words and singing along with it. But not really knowing what we are self consciously sing. WHY? Is it so easy for us to memorize the thing that are not so good for us but we can't memorize our school work with such ease. But going back to the actual text it was about a couple and Johnny cheated and Frankie killed him. Just like the music today it talks about all the negative things that happens in the world but we really can’t hear it cause we are deaf to the rhythm and beats of the songs we listen to.

We also went over a skit "Sure Thing" and this skit I enjoyed at first I was not to sure and though it was a little interesting just like the song haha but as we kept reading I be gain to understand that the seen was changing and showing you new ways on which it could be acted out ,every time the bell rang. Don’t you wish you had a bell in life you could ring, every time you wanted to change your seen.. redo that moment or saying. If Life could be that simple… maybe there would be less drama in the world. I’m sure that Johnny if he could, would wish to ring his bell and had never cheated on Frankie.. but clearly he had no bell to ring because Frankie pulled out her old forty four.
