Do you feel that popular music works best as an escape from the problems of the world or as a forum to explore and engage such issues?

The late 1920s and 1930s were a time when many Americans endured the humiliation of rampant racism as well as crushing poverty. Yet most mainstream popular music (exemplified by the Tin Pan Alley style) avoided these issues and focused instead on escapist themes of privacy and romance. Why might this have been the case? Do you feel that contemporary popular music also focuses on escapist themes like the 1920s and 1930s or do you feel that it tackles the relevant issues of the day? Do you feel that popular music works best as an escape from the problems of the world or as a forum to explore and engage such issues? Please be as specific as possible in citing examples.

On February 20, 2020 Minnie Mouse was driving her car in Anaheim, CA.. She needed to get fresh air and was driving near Disneyland. While she was driving, she was listening to the news on her radio and was very upset by the news about the Corona virus and that Disneyland may close indefinitely. She kept driving and just could not believe what was happening. At approximately 11:00 p.m., Minnie went into the intersection at Harbor Blvd and Ball Road. As she entered the intersection, she collided with another car that was being driven by Bugs Bunny. Both drivers got out and inspected the cars and took the proper information from each other and left. It was estimated that there was damage to each car. Bugs had his attorneys contact Minnie after the accident. Minnie was so distraught, she thinks that she went through a red light and caused the accident. She negotiated with Bug’s attorneys and was willing to pay $4,000 to make this go away. Bugs lives at 1313 Mockingbird Lane, Pasadena, CA 91107 and Minnie lives at 123 Mickey Mouse Road, Disneyland, CA 92802. Minnie comes to you and asks you if you would write a release for her.
