I found this analysis of salvation in popular culture really sad.
It made me think that people sought redemption in ecstasy, or feeling good (or better). There is no true hope, only promises of personal and temporary satisfaction. It seems to me like a huge way of closing our eyes and blinding ourselves to the fact that we need more than a good job, a nice car or an active sexual life to be saved from our condition. This all left me a littler bitter.
There is some deeper, less superficial, reflection too, as was shown with some of the analyses of the songs, but this is not nearly as important in our society as the urge for instant satisfaction and gratification.
