Dare I Admit?????

Dare I admit that I have gotten hooked onto Yankee Doodle Dandy? Dare I admit that I love this song??
Maybe this demonstrates that music can have a strong political influence on us if we are not aware of it. I am aware of the militant language behind this. I am aware that much of this story is pro-war, anti-union. A republican would love this. But again, maybe this is an example on how music really appeals to our emotions. I feel so upbeat listening to Cohan. Cohan did communicate a certain level of pride in his country as well. I have been studying nonviolence a lot lately wanting to incorporate this in my life as much as possible. Yet Cohan is very much a part of me that appeals to my little girl sensibilities...
