Boy Poe was right on and I had to look it up as to where and when I heard this:

I first heard this advice decades ago and could be from my mom first of all.

Note: the comments about Marvin Gaye and "I Heard It Thru the Grapevine"""..

Yes use your own mind.. Something most cant do

We can get 10 or so different versions of a subject from the media, I hear it all the time. To believe the first version or even the few few versions is totally foolish.

Yes best not to listen to thier agenda driven crap!!

Poe was a depressed drug addict who unfortunately wrote stuff that bored high schoolers are forced to read now.

Poe's advice on this issue is what I do buy. There are mega depressed drug addicts producing music for one thing and today more and more from the cartels...I steer clear of MOST drugs, legal or street.

This made me want to look up Poe's life...Was he Brilliant? He died at age 40,

Worth mentioning, IMO, is how most people will readily listen to what they prefer to hear, as well as how some people can only see what they choose to believe, and how in both cases the truth is frequently optional.

I tried to help someone yesterday (A friend) and I told him not to get this booster in sept.. And he said "I trust the science......" I didnt say anymore......

Sad how blind people are........... They need to use thier own minds and not listen to this crap!!
