Thread Name: Do you like 'Little Boxes'?
Subject: RE: Do you like 'Little Boxes'?
I've always liked Little Boxes. It's a great description, to quote an earlier post, of "People following pre-ordained career pathways, aspiring to nothing beyond the material"

I know that when I was growing up becoming one of the "doctors, and there's lawyers, and business executives" defined our worth---and if you weren't aspiring to become one of those, there was something wrong with you.

I must confess that I also love Dick McCormack's (Sept 9/08) post, because it's another group that defines success as having certain rigid paramaters. (mind you, there does have to be something wrong with anyone who doesn't love Kurt Vonnegut).

It's a terrific song, cleverly written, and now I'm inspired to learn it!
