Re: BBE meaning

It could just as easily be Pete when Karen was irritated with his job, or 
maybe when he forgot their wedding anniversary.

This is a typical Pete song that can be interpreted according to how you 
feel on a given day.  Of course it has a meaning within the opera, but like 
Kevin Mc, I've always thought it was an ironic statement (imagine that!) 
about being *perceived* as a bad man, and not being that underneath at all.  
I'd love to read Pete's original script for Lifehouse, BTW.  :)

Regardless of the slight mis-fit with the situation at CFNYC, it's easy to 
see how the audience connected so strongly with this song.  The lyrics are 
concerned with lonely hours and biting back on your anger and being a bad 
man for feeling that way.
