As a boy,
I was always told to hush up & finish my pie whenever I asked this question at our family get-togethers.

I have since theorized that maybe it was cuz he was a Rolling Stone or something.



Excellent, love your response

I'm not sure why it isnt really talked about much.

I think its creative & brilliant all at once. And the end of it was of some comfort to me at the time.

I think its just an example of someone in some kind of pain (though I can't help thinking about that scene from PR)... and the moral at the end holds true to the situation and also for him personally. Although the pain he felt at the time was a different kind.

It's a great song, GREAT!!! Keeps you humble and makes you think. Makes me a better father that's for sure...





P.S. DAYUM! AvD, you really don't like wlcm2thdwn do you...

nod True on all points.


Including the fact that no, I don't like anybody who is able to make light of somebody's (who they don't know) pain in order to take a jab at them online. I'm glad she hasn't experienced abuse. I really am. Now I hope she does.

It's my favorite song on that album ("Dark" is in second).I think that when someone referred to it as "sexy", perhaps they meant that the music itself is sexy. In that respect, I agree.
