Remember when songs had a message?
Sorry being the hardest word.
Bridges over troubled water.
Giving peace a chance?
It seems like powerful messages died when Rihanna eventually stopped reminding us that carrying an umbrella was quite a neat idea.
Nowadays it seems all that songs are trying regularly to motivate us to do is one thing: put your hands up!
Why, I am not clear. It's no substitute for an umbrella.
I don't think that that action alone will enhance civilisation.
I don't think it will prolong life.
Unless you find yourself at the OK corral.
Or unless they are talking about volunteering.
Or school discipline.
In which case, I'm all over it.
