We always hear about song lyrics that we deeply connect to on a personal level, but what about ones that are the opposite of your experiences and/or vibe? I’ll start first:

“I got money in the bank.”

    Obviously that’s not OK.

    But in all seriousness, isn’t that the growth we want from people? He didn’t just recognize that it was fucked up and changed. He also publicly acknowledged that he used to be that person and that that person was fucked up.

      I agree that it’s good he was (presumably) not hitting people any more and I agree its good he had enough self perception to see that it was an abnormal thing to hit people as a means of expression.

      However I guess I’d feel more comfortable about that admittance if I knew how the people he abused feel about it and him. Did he ever seek out those women and sincerely apologise? Maybe he did, I don’t know. And if he did, did they accept that apology? Because it’s all very well adopting a peace and love attitude when it makes you a lot of money and using your past as a means of contrast to highlight how much you now value peace and love when you don’t have to actually face the people you abused.
