How ironic. I link Pink's video for Dear Mister President along with the lyrics and get slammed by people debating the 'depth' of her song. Like it. Hate it. I don't care. The fact that this song has people talking about what's happening in America is a good thing. A pop singer decides to voice her opinion on what's happening in this world and everyone says she's riding the Bush Haters bandwagon. Maybe she is, maybe she isn't. But she got you thinking, so in my book the song is good. It's not as deep as say... the teachings of Socrates. But it's a big step up from Get The Party Started (which I also like so biteme).

Look around you. Most will see videos, televisions, game consoles, the latest in footwear. Look in your frig. How much food did you have to throw out in the past month? Is it full? What about your cupboards? Look above you. See that roof? Nice, huh. We're lucky, you and I. We have so much and yet all we can do is measure a person's sincerity about how they feel based on a song. Sometimes you just need to stand up and speak your mind. You may get bitch slapped right back into your chair but at least you stood up. Pink stood up. She could have just stuck to fluff songs. Instead she spoke her mind and someone said she should join the Dixi Chicks. Clever... The Dixie Chicks stood their ground during a time where rednecks ruled the roost. They where bashed, slammed and ostracized. They stood their ground. I give them credit for that. People are finally beginning to see how bad things have gotten. They are FINALLY starting to speak up. I'm not saying you have to like Pink. I just think you should appreciate that she got you thinking.
