All You Can Eat - Ben Folds - a satirical take on consumption


Ben Folds and I are good pals. There we are pictured above, hanging out at Starbucks. Look how excited he is to meet me. Ben Folds is a brilliant song writer/musician and one of my personal favorites. A few years ago he made a song called "All You Can Eat" which takes a satirical look at the current consumption habits of the U.S. You will probably notice that the song is very reminscent of the musical stylings of the lovable Randy Newman... or maybe you won't. I doubt any of you even know who Randy Newman is... I am so old. Anyhow, since we are studying this sort of stuff in this class I thought it would be appropriate to share.
