So what if he came from a boyband, Rob is one of a kind and I know many metal heads that respect him as an artist. The song was voted at the 2005 BRIT Awards as being the best song of the past 25 years in Britain. Its also a popular song for funerals, the most popular karaoke song and common among couples who want to spice up their love life. The English Cricket Team also used it to celebrate their victory at the 2010/11 Ashes series. It has also been played at numerous weddings, clubs, graduations and so fort in the US. And lets not forget the numerous compilation albums it has been included on and the countless covers of that one song etc etc. Surely that can't mean Angels is not a classic especially when comparing it to the songs you listed (maybe barr R.E.M).

And even of the ones I know that do dabble in other substances, not one of them has condemned their family to a life of poverty.

Also they say it is not addictive, but the lifestyle is, and why wouldn't it be. "Yeah man I smoke dope excessively, I don't work and I don't care,,,,Man,,,,"

Then again if the circumstances were the same maybe not... The bit of travel I did do I enjoyed immensely. I loved seeing differences and commonalities and just new "stuff". If I ever came into real "fcuk off working world" money I'd defo travel a lot more. I never lived anywhere for any length of time though. Extended holidays at best. That makes a diff.

Thousands of little kids, and nobody's around - nobody big, I mean - except me. And I'm standing on the edge of some crazy cliff. What I have to do, I have to catch everybody if they start to go over the cliff - I mean if they're running and they don't look where they're going I have to come out from somewhere and catch them. That's all I do all day. I'd just be the catcher in the rye and all. I know it's crazy, but that's the only thing I'd really like to be." I read it as a teen and it was written for teenagers it connected with me, it is full of rebellion, angst and a sense of lost. But if I read it now. I would also think it was a load of crap. There are some great sequences and quotes in that book and even now I still rank it as one of the best most beautifully written book I have read. It is a classic and it will always speak to teenagers of every generation. It will last for a long time.
