Just another pop song (will return to textual analysis soon)

It is Tuesday today, and a popular rock band when I was a teenager was called ‘Til Tuesday. Some of my college buddies said Tuesday is the most difficult day of the week because you are days away from the last weekend and still far from the next one.

The lead singer was a pretty, kind of post-punkish blonde. Her most famous song was called “Voices Carry,” and I think it is about the dangers of gossip and slander. It is a real issue in the US, even if you are not using curse words. You can get tortured for saying things people don’t agree with.
