[KB] Quick question re: Kenneth Burke and song

[wessr at onid.orst.edu]

Burkeans:

Does anyone remember Burke talking anywhere about popular songs as an  
indicator of mass consciousness?

A friend of a friend (see below) thinks he remembers Burke talking  
about this but he can't remember where.

Thanks.

Bob

Dear MLG-ers,

I am composing a short essay about the chants and songs emerging from  
the Black Lives Matter post-Ferguson movement, and I am trying to  
track down a quote that I think I recall rhetorical critic-supreme  
Kenneth Burke giving us about the importance of popular songs as an  
indicator of mass consciousness.

Does anyone out there know which quote I am referring to? And where to  
find it?

Thanks,
Joe Ramsey
