Mehso-so

I was not at all surprised to see that the author was a contributor to BuzzFeed. This is an entertaining, occasionally informative, collection of blurbs that seek to answer questions from pop songs: could Andre 3000 apologize to Ms. Jackson a trillion times? What would it look like if every day were Christmas? What if God were one of us? A couple entries were intentionally overly literal, and not funny, but it is a mostly enjoyable read.

This book claims to answer the questions posed by pop songs, and honestly, I‘m not sure I care if the rest of the book is any good. I‘m having so much fun with just reading the Table of Contents (all 4 pages of it). Should I stay or should I go? Is Annie okay? Were the boys of the NYPD choir singing “Galway Bay”? Why‘d you have to go and make things so complicated? 🎶 #nfnovember
