Review Of Tracy Lawrence's Song 'Blacktop'

Decent Essays
This Friday October 16, I am going to go to a Tracy Lawrence convert at the Surf Ballroom in Clear Lake, Iowa. This is going to be my birthday and Christmas present from my Aunt Joanne and Uncle Mark. I am really looking forward to it! I have made two posters to take along. One is about his new song “Blacktop” and the other is about his song “Time Marches On.” I picked these two songs because they are my favorite songs that he wrote.
Last year, I went to Minneapolis, Minnesota to a Garth Brooks concert. I also received the tickets as a birthday and Christmas gift. I made a poster for his concert also. It said some of God’s greatest gifts are concerts with Garth and Unanswered Prayers. I took those lyrics from his song “Unanswered Prayers.”

    Robin Thicke, Pharrell Williams, and T.I.’s 2013 music video for their hit single “Blurred Lines” depicts three females in little clothing performing seemingly innocent acts that have sexual connotations while dancing around and engaging with the three well dressed men who seem to only be watching the women, which sets the tone that the women are only there to serve as eye candy for the men. The first thing the 503.3 million viewers of the “Blurred Lines” music video on Vevo saw was Thicke lying in bed with a topless model while his arm assumes a dominant position over her body almost completely blocking her from the view of the camera. While this position may be perceived as simply cuddling, in the realms of this music video that reflects…
