Do we belong? This is probably not a question that philosophers & deep thinkers have been asking & answering for many, many years. It hadn't occurred to me, actually, until I started thinking about doing the show. But once I did think about it, it became one of the many questions I ask out loud in public places that earn me dirty looks & threats from neighborhood toughs.
Self Help Radio this week attempted to resolve whatever issues about belonging there might be, but not with tired tactics like conversation or reasoning. Instead, lots of songs said things like "you belong to me" or "you don't belong to me" or "I belong to you" or "I belong to nobody." You get the drift. Maybe some questions were answered, however, questions like, "Do heiresses belong on a university campus with their talking dogs?" & "Is there a sense of belonging in Hollywood"? & of course "Is the sort of guy who writes a book called You Don't Belong going to be a total jerk?"
You may find out what & who belongs yourself - it might be you, after all - by listening to this week's Self Help Radio episode. You can find it on the Self Help Radio website. Please pay attention to the password info there. The show is in two roughly hour-long parts. What is played in each hour is listed below.
Once you've downloaded it, the show belongs to you. No take-backs!
