You can be my Oko Ono.

Today, I woke, did my hair and make and left for school. I was greeted by my boyfriend and my friend in the morning. I started my new classes today. I am now taking math and Japanese, along with my other classes. Its going to be a busy half of the year. In my literature class we were listening to two different songs, one is called “You can be my Oko Ono” (by Barenaked Ladies) and the other is “Don’t want to be your Yoko Ono” (by Dar Williams). We talked about allusions and how poetry works more so. I was so surprised that theses songs could have so much meaning. It makes you really start to think about what your listening to. What is the whole point of your music? I never really thought about it, and when I did I wasn’t really sure what the songs were about, because they are so poetic. I think it’s so beautiful, but at the same time why couldn’t you just tell us what is on your mind? Did you really have to write a whole 4 minute song about a cow to tell us that you are sad that your girlfriend dumped you? Why couldn’t you just call her a few names then move on like normal person…but then again, what’s the fun in being normal?
