Well I was watching this talk show the other day
And on it there was this guy
And he was saying "When you let other people tell you what's right
when you leave your instinct and your own truth behind
that's a virus of the mind,
that's a virus of the mind" ... It's in the deep of your soul, it's on the tip of your tongue
It's the feeling you get, when you feel young
It's in the sound of a beat, it's in the base of your spine ... I'm pretty happy, living in my
My own sweet time, living in my
I'm pretty happy, and I don't need your
Virus of the mind
Your virus of the mind "This guy" was Richard Brodie, author of the book, _Virus of the Mind_, which is all about memetics. "This talk show" was The Oprah Winfrey Show. Nova sort of co-opts the concept for her song, but it retains a kernel of the basic truth about memes. 'Virus of the Mind', by Heather Nova |
