Benny Boy is subversive in his attempts to destroy any kind of enjoyment one might get from a song because his profound objections to lyrics, which are mostly poetic, disallows the simplest indulgences of the song’s sonic qualities. It’s just a song bro, chill out Ben! I guess the consumerist hypnosis over the listener is what perpetuated the culture of modernity, that which Ben rejects; and I agree, but, an exercise in holiness is seeing the beauty of those struggling with sin: it’s an invitation to mercy. The listener has autonomy. Whether or not he forfeits this for the idolization of false gods is his own choice and frankly not my problem!
The grown rooster joke was freaking hilarious. Your channel is awesome, both educational and hysterical.
