Even if the song was about a “character” that was so twisted by an abusive relationship that they had come to believe that they enjoyed or “needed” it, who’s to say that someone “can’t” record that song?

Are we supposed to refrain from documenting slices of reality that make people un-comfy?

And if so, where is my gosh-darn “Right-Think” manual? 🙂

I find it hard to believe that people would jump ship just because of that song.

But if they did, I find it even harder to mourn their absence.

Okay–went back and found the music blog. Loved the Weezer song, BTW.

ANd I may be stupid too, but I agree that the “Kiss with a Fist” song is perky and cute, and not meant to be taken literally. Oy.

I wouldn’t say you’re stupid, darlin’. Maybe just have a more positive way of looking at the rest of the human race than most folks do. I tend to give folks the benefit of the doubt…sometimes to the point of stupidity.

On the other hand, I don’t like music like the stuff you mentioned, because I tend to think it does encourage and support violence. Hopefully you’re right, and I’m wrong.

Haven’t listened to the particular song, though (dang–must have missed a blog post), so I couldn’t say about this one.
