11/7 - “Guilty pleasures”
By The Stabbing Pen | November 7, 2008
I have mixed feelings about what defines a guily pleasure, and if such a concept really exists. Experiencing pleasure is a good thing, while feeling guilty about it is not. In this case, the pleasure typically comes first, then somehow you suffer for it later. A good example is fast food.
Listening to music (from the 1980’s) is not a guilty pleasure. You will not gain weight, or develop a rash afterwards. Listening to Culture Club is probably not harmful to the mind or body. You might not even turn gay after a few listens.
Anyway, I have no guilt when listening to “We Are the World,” or when watching the video for it on YouTube. I’ll admit, I really dig the song, and I think it’s really cool that all those famous people actually gathered together. It’s not even so much for a good cause as the reason I’m moved, but just the actual singing itself I find impressive.
SO FUCK YOU. NO GUILT. BEST VIDEO EVER.
