A song about Oscar Wilde!

There's a song called "Oscar Wilde" by Company of Thieves and I find it interesting.

The song talks about appearances and putting up a facade, hence the astheticism, and also the beauty versus usefulness issue we discussed in class. Many of the lyrics seem to be saying that the world is rather frivolous and the singer could just be making observations, or may be making a social critique, which parallels the debate regarding Wilde's intentions in his writings. --- Kaitlin
