WHY do some people analyze the SHIT out of everything???

This is the dumbest thing I have read in weeks--and if you knew some of the crap (fundie stuff) I have been reading---well...what ever. A cool song, a movie from my teenage years...and now this crap.

Here's the song for people that don't want to read the crap:

1. Because the song is deliberately ambiguous.
I think the intention was to get people to analyze it.

2. Nope
The song was cut from 7 minutes to 4 by the producers.

It's about a suicide of a young man.

3. That's an interesting question, Thtwudbeme...what do you mean?

I wonder. Are you addressing the very nature of human curiosity, or the specific interest in "The Ode to Billie Joe"?

Anyone want to chime-in on the underlying themes in this thread?

4. Brains never stop
That's why drugs are popular.
