This Ghali Controversy Wasn’t a Protest. It Was a Marketing Play.
Everyone is arguing about Ghali. Censorship. Free speech. Peace. Politics. But almost no one is asking the question that actually matters:

Why Is Bad Bunny Not Getting Paid For The Super Bowl Halftime Show?
Happening just once a year, the Super Bowl halftime show is a cultural phenomenon. Since 2008, the Super Bowl has exceeded over 100 million viewers in just the US alone, and viewership often peaks during the halftime show itself when non-sports fans tune in.

The Role of Poetic Choice in Music in Enhancing the Literary, Ethical, and Cultural Level of Society
The Role of Poetic Choice in Music in Enhancing the Literary, Ethical, and Cultural Level of Society Music in the social life of humans is not merely an artistic phenomenon or a source of entertainment; it is a cultural, educational, and meaning-generating force that directly and indirectly affects the material and spiritual quality of society. Through its influence on emotions, cognition, and collective memory, music contributes to the reproduction of values, norms, and behavioral patterns, making it one of the fundamental tools in shaping public culture. Among its many dimensions, what elevates music beyond sound and melody and gives it a cognitive and social depth is poetry. The words accompanying music carry meaning, worldview, and a system of values. Therefore, choosing poetry is not a matter of personal taste alone, but a cultural and responsible decision with far-reaching literary, ethical, and educational consequences for society.

P!nk and Garbage put stupid girls in their places
Musical artists P!nk and Garbage have combated all of the stupid girls of the world, and rightfully so. Both acts have two separate songs on the same subject and name but the two songs let all the stupid girls have it coming from both artist directions as well as perspectives. Beginning with P!nk's song, since she is a Pop music artist and has always been tongue in cheek but she keeps it to the point and pulls no punches and lets them all have and leaving morals also to be learned too. The video is great too, and at the time that i was made P!nk takes aim at girls who get implants, puke in the sink to be skinny, and it is a great video. All of the lyrics are full of advice and warnings she encourages girls that they can achieve anything they want they just have to do in instead of letting society brainwash them down the wrong road into stupidity and mediocrity as well. At the end of the video P!nk saves the day of a little girl who was almost brainwashed by television and picks up her football and runs outside in the sunshine to play and shape her own destiny.
