Thread Name: Singing Paul Anka's 'My Way' can get you killed
Subject: RE: Singing 'My Way' can get you killed.....
Here's a quote from the article Bobad linked:
"Are the killings 1) the natural byproduct of the country's culture of violence, drinking and machismo? Or is there 2) something inherently sinister in the song?" ======== That is a question that only a journalist could ask. Cause I'm pretty sure the answer is 1).
Even though 'My Way' is tedious, whiny and self-centered, I don't believe it inspires homicide. So many pop songs are tedious, whiny and self-centered that the streets of Manila would be carpeted in corpses.
