Rock and Roll Unanswered Questions...A Poem by chuckAfter listening to songs all my life I sit and wonder about so many of these questions in songs that have never been answered. The Beatles teased us asking "Do You Want to Know a Secret?" but they never shared what the secret was. I guess there was no GPS when Dionne asked "Do You Know the Way to San Jose?" Did Peter, Paul, and Mary ever find out where all the flowers have gone? Apparently, the Weatherchannel didn't exist when CCR asked "Who'll Stop the Rain?" The ASPCA wants to know "Who Let the Dogs Out?" They want names I guess. And Marvin Gaye is so confused, he doesn't know "Whats Going On?" And those folks in Chicago asking each other "Does Anybody Really Know What Time it Is?" Are there no clocks in the city? Toby Keith is worried about paternity issues asking "Who's Your Daddy?" Too many red solo cups. And the all important unanswered love questions like... Rod Stewart wanting to know "Do You Think I'm Sexy?" Elvis wonders,"Are You Lonesome Tonight?" And no one can tell us "Why Do Fools Fall in Love?" Tina asked "What's Love Got to do With It?" Was this about a one night stand? Did he ever answer when the Shirelles asked "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow?" Every year Linda Ronstadt still has to wonder "When Will I Be Loved?" Whitney asked "How Will I Know?" Could be a tingling feeling maybe. The Rascals wonder,"How Can I Be Sure?" As soon as you share a bank account the lawyers say. And did she ever explain to the Bee Gees " How Deep is Your Love?" How does one measure that? Culture Club is feeling pain asking "Do You Really Want to Hurt Me?" One of those sadistic love affairs apparently. And finally, the Beach Boys asked "Wouldn't It Be Nice?" But that question leaves the subject wide open in my mind. © 2023 chuck |
