I have a problem with Ke$ha… ok not with her as a person so much… but her as an artist… her as someone who is promoting and encouraging a lifestyle through the influence of music.
While her beats are catchy and easy to dance to… her lyrics in her new song are
Got a water bottle full of whiskey
In my handbag.
Got my drunk text on
I’ll regret it in the mornin’
But tonight
I don’t give a
I don’t give a
I don’t give a
N-now we’re getting so smashed.
Knocking over trash cans.
Eurbody breakin’ bottles
It’s a filthy hot mess.
Gonna get faded
I’m not the designated
Driver so
I don’t give a
I don’t give a
I don’t give a
I find it interesting how drunkedness can go 2 ways… it is portrayed in the news as something harmful not just to yourself, but to others around you. Laws are being introduced to close clubs and pubs down earlier and to increase the cost of alcohol…
then the other side is that drunkenness is glamourised in music… that it is something that is needed to have a good time out…
While I am not against alcohol, I live knowing that God instructs us to not be given into drunkenness (1 Tim 3:3), it makes us loose 100% control over our actions and words… which is exactly the same as “doing something you wouldn’t do sober”… obviously if you wouldn’t do it sober… something wrong has happened to our minds capacity to reason.
Anyway the point is that I am concerned that this generation is seeing glamourised versions of what used to be unglamourous.
Just doesn't appeal to me...
agree agree….
