Warning: this has nothing to do with Edwin: I was at Gimme! today and Madonna's "Material Girl" was playing. It struck me that I love this song as well as "Captain Jack" (Billy Joel) and "Margaritaville" (Jimmy Buffet) and there are probably lots more that I'm forgetting. When I was a teenager, I took the lyrics to these and similar songs too literally and was totally disgusted by their very existence. I could not believe anybody would write or sing such a thing! But, I realize that these artists are making fun of society, even as they make fun of their very fans, and I find this so completely amusing now! I just couldn't help but note this...
