I have been having some problems with this post, because I firmly believe that any cultural manifestation in itself - and by necessity - is a comment upon the prevailing norms, ideas and beliefs in the social context where it is preformed.
In my mind the song "How Much Is That Doggie in the Window?" is truly a statement on it´s time and therefore political. A political song can of course embrace the norms, ideas and beliefs of it´s time and location as-well as it can be an apparent protest against them or an allegory or a cover-up. '
To me the theme of this event contains a self contradiction, but what the hell I´ll plug it anyway. Live music is after all one of the best things about SecondLife.
Thanks to Diana for the information!
