What is music worth??
I was just pondering...
I'm a REALLY big music fan - I love almost every type. Although I live in South Africa, I watch the charts from around the globe just to hear what is new and what these artists are trying to say. After all, music is an artform which gives artists a platform to make their voices heard to a wide-ranging audience.
Anyway, what I want to know is: What is all the music worth? Should we really be listening to what's being said in the lyrics of songs? When a teeny-bopper band sings about love, do we listen to them? Should we build temples to praise the literary power of Michael Stipe or Dylan? And, should we "build our lives" around the message that a song gives? A lot of people become engrossed in songs - like it was written exclusively about their particular issue. Is this wrong or what?
My viewpoint kinda comes from Oasis "Don't Look Back In Anger"
There is a paradox there, isn't it?
Any views??

Please don't put your life in the hands/ Of a rock 'n roll band/ Who'll throw it all away
