I could go on and on about my love for The Beatles and the brilliant songwriting of Lennon and McCartney, but I will leave it at that there is a reason why "Yesterday" is one of the most covered songs in the history of music. What I think is really amazing about this love song is that Paul McCartney dreamt the entire melody one night, and after putting it on the back burner for awhile he finally added the lyrics to finish it.  What I think is great is that McCartney wrote most of this song by himself despite one addition from John Lennon, which was the word "yesterday." 

I didn't post this to ruin some of your long-time favorite t.v. shows, but to get everyone thinking about how many races are underrepresented in television, even today.  When we were talking about the HBO hit Girls in class, I started to think about the various shows that are still playing today that feature a predominately white cast.  Two of which that made the list were Sex and The City and Friends.  Both are favorites of mine, but they feature a group of people living in New York, and the fact that there are little to no African American or even Hispanic cast members does seem strange and possibly racist. 

I really enjoyed reading how well Michael Hardt and Lauren Berlant kind of bounced off one another when talking about love and its non sovereignty.  It's interesting how they both look at love as a political figure and the metaphor with love being compared to muscles was great, I thought, because like love, muscles tends to require work and exercise, and as Berlant said in order for a muscle to grow, tendons must rip.  This thought could go back to the idea that in order for love to grow, there must be some compromises and changes. 

This song can be interpreted in several different ways and that's what I like about it, it's versatile and can be related to a wide span of situations. In many ways, the song is about finding your first love and having the feeling of falling in a deep love with someone. In another way, it could be about a family member that you are proud to have apart of your life. Either way, this is a love song that can be dedicated to just about anyone and that's what makes it great. 

I couldn't think of a better love song to add on here after the conversations we've had in the past classes trying to understand the LGBTQIA community. Queen Latifah said it perfectly, "this song is a love song, not for some of us but for all of us." When I first heard this song, before Macklemore had become a household name, I knew it was going to be big. He talks about the stereotypes that are given to people and how we fear things that we don't know. I chose the Grammy version because it just makes the song even more moving. If you haven't seen it yet, I highly suggest it. 

This article breaks up what each "label" means, and also gives a good description of what queer really is. I thought this would be helpful to have because there was still a lot of confusion in class today during the discussion. It also explains what the I and A mean, which I thought would be cool for everyone to know as well.
