Wang Chung??
I was listening to VH1 the other day. The I love the 80's series. I truly love the 80's music, as well as all other stuff too. This led to a discussion at the Buck today.
What the heck is WANG CHUNG?
Does anyone know what this is a reference to?
Come on help your baristas out.
Hope you had a great Thanksgiving. I was sick for it all!!!!

Wang Chung (27 – 97 C.E.) (Traditional Chinese: 王充; Simplified Chinese: 王充; pinyin: Wáng Chōng) was a Chinese philosopher during the Han Dynasty who developed a rational, secular, naturalistic, and mechanistic account of the world and of human beings. His main work was the Lun-Heng (論衡) (first translated in 1911 as Balanced Enquiries, and since as Fair Discussions, or Critical Essays).
Unusually for a Chinese philosopher of the period, Wang Ch'ung spent much of his life in non-self-inflicted poverty; indeed, he was said to have studied by standing at bookstalls. A superb memory, however, allowed him to become very well-versed in the Chinese classics, and he eventually reached the rank of District Secretary, a post which he soon lost as a result of his combative and anti-authoritarian nature.
Wow... Does that answer the question of what the singer meant though? Maybe I supose.
