After the class discussion I have some amends to make- but see that where I was going made sense. I did not think of war at all- but probably would have if I googled Ides of March. I didn't know the history dealt with more than Caesar's literary death date. I thought of the pairs in a romantic or different sense. Maybe just groups of people that are so arbitrarily connected that they have become inseparable?
After listening to the song I felt the war connection- but in a Vietnam way since the singer resembled Bob Dylan or other 60's folky anti war hipster. I really enjoyed listening the the music as it added another element to my understanding. Media literacy is definitely powerful and has the capacity to shape meaning- even to change it.
Also the song title sounds like March 'Violence'
