Day 2- My Least Favorites Songs

As a general rule I love all music all genres all groups. I don't have much of an ear for who is in tune, & tend to go for really unique voices with no clue to how the pitch is.

But I strongly dislike propaganda-type songs. Especially, of course, when I disagree with the message. And doubly so if they seem to either have the facts wrong or be twisting the other side's message completely.

The appeal to emotion rather than addressing the logistics, really gets me. Not just that, but appealing to emotions such as those that motivate revenge&discord rather than unity&peace. The claim that the other side must therefore be emotionally deficient as well as clearly wrong...

Here are a few of the songs, up with which I cannot put.

1) Have you forgotten?- Darryl Worley

What better way to make your point than to say those who oppose you must not be patriotic, or have a short memory? We must be right because remember how we felt really awful about that tragedy?

No, Worley, we haven't forgotten; but since you are using a tragedy solely to defend your cause, I would argue that you have forgotten. Ends rant.

Also for some reason they would always play this song at the Subway in Mt Vernon, IA.

2) We've got to stop the Mosque at Ground Zero- Trade Martin

This song bothers me only slightly less. And I think that's only because I didn't have to listen to it playing every time I wanted a sandwich.
