I don't recognize any of the songs in the top ten. That says something... could be I'm a cru.., curmug..., stick-in-the-mud  So what fraction of those Billboard chart songs are positive? And, as Ray pointed out, what is a positive song? Is it one of those "I know it when I hear it things?" "Like a Rolling Stone" always shows up at the top of the polls of best songs. Dylan didn't get the memo, I guess. Is "Hey Jude" positive or negative? "Satisfaction" by the Stones? "Let it Be"? I wonder what about movies? Casablanca shows up on everybody's list of favorites. He gave up the love of his life at the end. Positive or negative? Was positive for Paul Henreid, I guess. And the movie usually considered to be the best ever? Citizen Kane - Hard to put a positive spin on that one.... Actually, the argument is probably that you should do positive songs in bad times. I'd like to see a study on that - both for movies and songs. Is the reverse true? Good times call for sad songs? Just rambling, trying to avoid doing any work...  Scott

"Sometimes reaching a goal earlier than planned is a great achievement. It shows you have worked hard, pushed ahead and made it happen. However, sometimes reaching a goal far past your original deadline, long after you wanted to complete it, and after the accolades you might once have gotten for the achievement are over, it is an even greater achievement. This shows you never gave up, due to adversity, deficit, criticism and those little life detours that end many dreams and goals. In many ways, this is a reason for even more pride!" -Brian Austin Whitney
