Whyspace

Taylor Swift famously wrote the lyrics, “Can I ask you a question?” While seemingly a simple query, it plays to the idea that we all have questions some we never pose and some we agonize over never being answered. Pop culture is overrun with gossip columnists, blind items and paparazzi photos in this predatory society we live in. But what if you actually got to sit down with your favorite artist, or athlete? What if you got to ask them all the questions you’ve always wondered? But here’s the catch, you can’t ask them questions that you’ve seen speculated on in social media. Instead, you get to ask them why. Why did they write that song? Why did that choose that part to audition for? Why did they sign with that team? Why did they write that book? Myspace was “a place for friends.” Whyspace is place where we get to know each other. Knowing why someone does something can literally change the trajectory of history. That being said, “Can I ask you a question?”
