you mentioned that the NSAI member wanted the FAT man to have some redeeming quality, or else he's just another FAT MAN. in other words he was saying "DONT WRITE A SONG EVERYONE CAN RELATE TO BUT ONE THAT ONLY A SELECT FEW CAN RELATE TO".....because only a select few have their situations get better.

i think that says EVERYTHING about the current state of country music and nashville, and thats probably why songs are not connecting anymore. theirs too much christian goody goody in songs right now.

what happened to HE STOPPED LOVING HER TODAY where the main character DIES BECAUSE HE CANT LIVE WITHOUT SOMEONE. today, they would have the main character simply move on.

music shouldnt be a self help book but a representation of REAL emotions, and thats what this song is
