Thread Name: Singing Songs You Don't Agree With
Subject: RE: Singing Songs You Don't Agree With
Well, lets clarify stuff...

Songs are stories... As singers we are telling stories... No biggie...

Hey, Joe
Where ya' going with that gun in your hand

Most of us don't know Joe and most of us wouldn't approve of someone "shotin' my woman 'cause I caught her runnin' with another man"...

I mean, we don't agree or disagree... We are telling a story... Nothing more... Nothing less...

It's okay... It's what makes folk songs folks songs...

I mean, if we are singing songs that instruct others to go out and do bad things then different story...

MO...
