O.K. About this rape thing. I don't want to perform a long lecture for all
those more interested in a skip on the Sell Out re-issue (mine's fine- ha ha!
but the case broke), but I wanted to state that I have no problem with
Pete's use of the verb "rape." As for the topic about building a character,
remember: Dr. Jimmy is only 1/4 of the whole--big deal. But seriously. How
would the song sound if the words went something like: "Who is she? I'll
stick my tongue out at her!" (How's that for seriousness?) It's not like
he's purposely trying to offend a particular person or group of people, like
*women* for example (we're half the population, we out-number him! What was
he thinking?!). And I honestly can't say that this musician has a hate for
women when he's the same person who wrote: "You take away the breath I was
keeping for sunrise." He is a musician who writes particularly powerful
lyrics. Would you want them anything but? Or should he be. . . mild?
Just a thought to burn
