He had it comin'

He had it comin’

That is probably one of the my favorite songs in the musical “Chicago.”  Six women singing a song about how she killed her husband for doing her wrong. Classic entertainment right there.  I thoroughly enjoyed listening to “Frankie and Johnny” yesterday.  I never take folk or country songs seriously, but I do like that they always tell a story.  Some of them are sad and some are quite humorous.  I am not sure if this song was meant to be taken seriously, but I think the whole class got a good laugh out it. It’s funny that a song that doesn’t sound threatening at all can be so brutal. I had never really dug deeper into a song like we did in class. I usually listen to the lyrics but I do not always break them down to each word or phrase. I liked that we could ask questions and discuss how we would interpret a certain line in the song. although it is pretty straight forward. i feel like that's how marriages worked back in the day. if the husband is unfaithful, the bullets will going flying. hence, he had it comin

            Reading “Sure Thing” was also enjoyable. I wish I could have a bell that rings anytime I say something wrong.  I would rather have a warning ring so I don’t actually make the mistake of saying something out loud that I shouldn’t have.  Overall I enjoyed the class more than I thought I would. the discussion, activities, and of course the singing made time go by pretty fast, which is a good thing.  It was definitely unconventional. I am looking forward to the rest of the semester and interesting in what we are going to read.
