Who Did You Think I Was?

I can't comprehend the resiliency of character it must require to retain a sense of "self" when celebrity is poured on you like it has been on John.

I heard him remark of the topic in an interview "I surround myself with people much smarter and better than myself" and I knew it to be total crap. John is a nice boy, ladies man, starving artist and millionaire all packed into a 6 foot, blues dripping hunk of a housecat.

This song is a coy blues-rock anthem; a commentary on celebrity and the struggle to define ones self... at least that's what John wants you to think. "You've got my number but I always knew the score..." means I'm in control, but enjoy it, you'll like the ride!

I can agree with that. I'm just glad John is doing what he wants now. As a serious blues fan, i'm even more excited that he's decided to go back to his roots and go with the blues. I'm psyched!!!

"Will I keep shining 'til my light is gone?" A reference to gravity, he's debating whether or not he'll stay 'where the light is'.
