Oh, but that's the point.

Consider Paul Simon.

"I Am A Rock" versus "Bridge Over Troubled Waters."  (Err, that 
"troubled waters" pun was unintended.)

I dragged my then girl friend to an Eric Andersen concert, and at the 
end of his set, she turned on me "Do you listen to this music just to 
feel sorry for yourself?"

I had not thought of it that way.

But she did have a point.

Two years later I was at another Eric Andersen concert, sans girl 
friend.  (There were a lot of other issues.  It wasn't just "him or me".)

But I do like the miserable sods. (-8
