My View of the Song Good People by Jack Johnson

Where'd all the good people go?

There are a lot of songs in the world today that are very vulgar and mislead today's society. Growing up one of my favorite artists has always been Jack Johnson.
That is why it was so easy for me to find such an appropriate song relating to discipleship and culture. The song I have chosen is called Good People. It gives many examples of how our world is so much focused on failure then it is success that sometimes you almost have to ask yourself "Where'd all the good people go?" Overall I believe this song very easily gets its message across, and that message is that we shouldn't just focusing on the bad in the world but the good and what each and everyone of us can do to make the world that much better.

The best example is in the song how he says, "I've been changing channels. I don't see them on the TV shows." This holds true that all news seems like now days is you turn your TV on and just hear about a lot of the bad in the world and that's not the way it should be. We should be able to turn on our televisions and hear about some one saving another person's life or just something as simple as doing a good deed for another human.

This song is significant to me, because when I was in 6th grade I just received a new dog, named Blackjack. One night my dad, Blackjack, and I were taking the trash out and usually Blackjack would just walk next to us, but this time he wondered into the street. My dad and I were walking the trash down the driveway and we watched as this man driving a truck hit Blackjack at full speed and just completely blew by like nothing happened. Blackjack was eventually dead, but the hardest part to take in was the fact that that man didn't even have the character to stop and care about it.
