HM #87: What happens
on 2015-05-22
I’ll just go ahead and admit that Henrike’s opinion on that song is very much my own opinion. What is that guy doing? Shouldn’t he, I don’t know, stay with his girlfriend? She’s probably still crying and not saying “Hey, boyfriend who never fights, could you please go and pick a fight with those three guys? Sorry if they end up killing you or something, but you know, sometimes you gotta fight when you’re a man.”
On the other hand, it’s a song – it’s a story. Kenny Rogers is most likely not trying to educate people by telling that little story. 😉
… And was there ever a country song about a good decision? 😀
He should immediately call the police and stay with his girlfriend.
I think the best option would be to ask her. (Not call the police if she doesn’t want that for some reason.)
