Virtual Insanity by Jamiroquai - my take

"Note: 48-HOUR CHALLENGE : Media Prompt Deadl..."

You know what?

At first, I thought, what the heck, I don't relate to this. But then I saw the title -Virtual Insanity - and I thought - aha, that's what is being reflected in the song. Since I don't relate to a lot of virtual things, I'm not relating to the visuals here! So it actually works!

This led me to thinking - guy makes crazy music video to reflect how insane the world is going. He sees it as it is and puts it out thee. But then, it becomes as crazy as the world he is reflecting! So is it good or bad to reflect, in art, what you perceive to be real, very closely? I mean, then, are you guilty of doing what you are protesting against? Do videos, movies, books, and so on which are against something glamorise it for a while?

Ugh those crawling bugs. Now I know there are creepy crawlies in life, but do we have to give them screen time?

So - the age old debate.

Which came first, the importance or the screen time?

Are creepy crawlies important, or did they become important because we gave them screen time?

Is the insanity important or did it become important because we highlighted it?

I dunno. Do you?
