about

I wrote a song a long time ago called The Ones Who Hurt Us. It appeared on my first solo record, Polaroid. Life School is basically working the same angle. The notion is that most of us are drawn to people who never quite give us what we want. In other words, I've often wondered if being bad and being unavailable pushes some buttons in the carnal department that can never get pushed by being nice and available. My father was not exactly the nicest of men, and yet my mother adored him. It seemed the worse he treated her, the more she longed to be loved by him. One year he forgot her birthday and ducked out to Kmart to get a last minute gift. He returned with a Dolly Parton record and a box of cheap chocolates. My mother never liked country music or Dolly Parton. She was also on the weight watchers diet. I can still see her sobbing in the kitchen. Coolly distant was the opposite of my natural resting state, so I had some serious misgivings about my future on the dating roulette wheel. Some good old-school Hollywood brainwashing and dear old dad taught me that somehow being a male who felt stuff wasn't cool. And then, later on, songwriters like John Lennon taught me it was cool. Yet another reason rock'n'roll became so appealing to me as a kid. I could turn a potential liability into an asset. The business world didn't exactly need another accountant who was "in touch with his feelings." Right?
