I'm not sure exactly what it's about, but seems to be about God, or spiritual oneness.

Such an underrated masterpiece


A lot of them ole songs made no sense. Typical it goes on forever lol. 6 minute song , that would never fly in 2025 , kids get bored easy. Sounds like self refection , that he only he understands. Wasn't he busted for kiddy porn or something ?

The musician acknowledged using his credit card to enter a website advertising child pornography, but said he was doing research for his autobiography. What ya crazy ?

That song was not written for kids, you think all music is for kids. That album particularly involved agung which I don't know why I related to the music so much as a kid, it still speaks to people interested in perspectives and people who tend to be soul searching.. interested in art , not somebody looking to pitch.

Not your ever day fare is what he's doing.

He was busted, but WAS cleared of all wrong doing.when I first heard his defense I said if c'mon.

He was in fact researching , blaming banks that allow people to use credit cards for illegal disgusting things.

The tragic part is he was cleared but people remember the accusations, not the investigation.

He never entered the site, he was trying to prove the credit card company doesn't care what you buy. So they should be punishable too..

If you are a superstar Rock star, your not going to use a credit card with your name in it to buy that Garbage, he used his own card.

That research he did ended up in the book he claimed to be doing it for, in his book who I am.
Pete had issues, he wrote some songs that daltry had trouble signing,

One of the most incredible songs I've ever heard called rough boys, un fuckin believable song music especially.I never knew it was homo erotic.

I still choose to hear the song the way I want, it's a song about taunting your bullies, and standing up to them

But he was cleared of this crime, a shame.

Incredible musician and writer
