What came first? The music or the misery?
People worry abnout kids playing with guns or watching violent videos
that some sort of culture of violence will take them over. Nobody
worries about kids listening to thousands, literally thousands, of
songs about heartbreak, rejection, pain, misery, and loss. Did I listen
to pop music because I was miserable? Or was I miserable because I
listened to pop music? It would be nice to think that since I was
14, times have changed. Relationships have become more sophisticated.
Females less cruel. Skins thicker. Instincts more developed. But there
seems to be an element of that afternoon in everything that's happened
to me since. All my romantic stories -- are a scrambled version of
that first one.
