Listen to the lyrics of this song, and try to realize the deep meaning. It's pure poetry. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gAg3uMlNyHA
It's one of the deepest songs still out there. And he actually wrote it (with a couple others)
I didn't realize this until a few days ago. |

"except he sells all of his tour t-shirts for $50" actually, that's the whole record label and stuff selling it for that much heck, he even tweeted (if i remember it all right) that he donated some shirts to thrift shops and that you can get them for a lot less because he thinks it's completely stupid that they sell them for $50 |

he donated them to select thrift stores in the seattle area
you can buy them off his site on the internet for ~$10-15 less than you can at the concerts, but when you factor in shipping it really comes out closer to $50 and not the advertised price of $35-40 |

@Evil
Did you even listen to the song? Wings is about a rich kid who wants to be cool, wants to fit in so he buys fancy basketball shoes so he can be part of a movement. But they keep on breaking, so he keeps on buying them just to stay popular
And at the 2nd verse, he raps about a kid being beat up by a gang and then stealing his stuff, because when a gang encountered a kid they wanted to steal from, they took the shoes, usually if they were expensive.
It goes on about the consumer's story. |

AAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHA!!"
heck, the whole point of that song was to make thrift shops less dumb to people and have them realise that thrift shops are great places to buy clothing for less money basically just making thrift shops cool and stuff |

Some of his songs are inspiring,or at least not senseless,like some rap lyrics can be.
IMO. |
