Great article. Likewise, Macarena is about a girl who is hosting a gang bang as an act of revenge against her boyfriend. Take This Job and Shove It is not about defiance. The man is completely broken and confessing that he hasn't got the courage to quit. Halleluja isn't an anthem about love--it's the story of a weak, bitter little man who blames his failures on the woman who doesn't love him. Margaritaville isn't a story of lost love or an elegy about life on the beach, it's a song about failure, despair, and self-reproach.

I was an artist until my thirties when I discovered computers and jumped ship for a few decades. Now I'm back to it. You can probably find some on instagram.
