I'm not sure where anybody ever got the idea that musicians were NICE. Should I even tell you that my biological father dedicated "Don't Stand So Close To Me" to me when I met him, at age 14? He used to always play that for me in his cover band. Talk about a pervert. *snicker*
I was going to say things about Sting but everyone else covered that already. (Friggin' MTV addicts.) I don't know a thing about REO's intentions, but Rick Springfield's song was chock full of irony, not confusion, in, "I've been funny I've been cool with the lines / Ain't that the way love's supposed to be." Rick wasn't stupid, but he knew his audience. ;)
The music business is *still* the last bastion of the truly macho and irresponsible male.
