Look Away, But Don't Blink
Now, I know what you're thinking. "But wait," you might say, "I've seen a movie poster with the word 'Chicago' in it." And you're absolutely right! There's that musical, Chicago, which is a totally different thing. It's about a couple of jazz-age murderesses trying to manipulate the media. It's got great songs, but it's got nothing to do with the band Chicago.
So, why am I writing this? Because I'm bored and I love to overexplain things. Plus, I figured it would be fun to clear up this common misconception.

The Real Question: Why Did Chicago Sing "Look Away"?
Okay, let's talk about something interesting. Why did Chicago sing "Look Away"? Was it a breakup song? A cry for help? A plea to the paparazzi?
The truth is, we'll never know for sure. But I like to think it was a message to their record label, saying, "Look away from us and let us make some jazz again."
Reminder: Reading twice often makes things clearer.
