We Are The Most Beloved And Hated

As A 28 Year Old Who's Lived Long Enough To Know The Difference, I Know Now That The Feelings I Felt An 16 Were Not Necessarily Correct. But However Overly Dramatic, The Desperation And Hopelessness I Felt At 16 Was My Reality.

For A 6-foot-3 Guy With No Hair And A Whiny Voice, I've Done All Right.

I Mean, I'm Certainly Not A 'teaophyte,' Or Whatever The Word Would Be.

Now The Expectation Is That, Once The Public Decides That The Artist Is Gentrified, The Public Demands That The Artist Stop Growing. And [the Public] Actually Puts All Their Energy Into Reasserting Or Re-establishing What The Artist Has Long Ago Left Behind. Because That's What They Want. The Source Of Creativity, The Gift That's Been Given, Be Damned.

In My Corgan Brain, I've Decided It's Almost As Simple As 'all You Need Is Love.' Almost.
