I tried a new way of getting music video playlists tonight and one of the songs that came up was Me and Bobby McGee by Kris Kristofferson. It isn’t in my top ten songs, but certainly gets in my top 100.
I think the poetry of the lyrics in songs is what I like.
Freedom’s just another word for nothin’ left to lose
Nothin’ ain’t worth nothin’ but it’s freeAnd I’d trade all of my tomorrows
For one single yesterday
Great lines. But if you click on the “watch on youtube” button there is something interesting. There are over 700 thumbs down. Even though I really like the song I have not clicked the thumbs up button. But what would it take for me to click the thumbs down?
What is it that makes people want to tell the world that this isn’t their kind on music in an anonymous way?
I know people have suggested that Facebook needs a thumbs down, but I have started to wonder. Do we need that thumbs down, or should we just move on and let people that enjoy the video enjoy it?
Why do we always need the negative waves?
