trying to make sense of it all

I abhor apathy, but there it sometimes is. It is difficult to care. Not only do you need to care, you need to vet what to care about. Bleh.

That said, I am in favor of caring and all the vetting that entails.

Anyway, this is where the Cranberries and NWA cross paths in my listening:

• Cranberries: “Unhappiness is when we were young and we didn’t give a damn”
• NWA: “See, I don’t give a f***, that’s the problem”

Both see apathy as a negative.

The Cranberries, “Ode to My Family:”

NWA, “Straight Out of Compton:”
