Lazz, Johnny Cash's "I shot a man in reno" is a good example. thanks. however, to counter the "i shot the sheriff" example: I shot the sheriff is not about being bad. its about defending ones self and the character says it was in self defense. this is not an example of someone truly coming to grips with being bad. the song "Unfaithful" sung by Rihanna is one song that deals directly with being bad but refrains from truly dealing with it by saying "i dont want to do this anymore" "i dont want to be the reason why" blah blah blah. I'm curious as to the psychology of why most artist don't want to tackle these sorts of songs. i guess it's a reflection of the white lie in all of us. cheers, dan

good reminder on the first person writing. however, i still find it amusing that artists (or maybe their managers) don't like fielding first person material. it's as if to say, well, i don't know if they can really buy into that. flaky as usual besides rap, r & b and hip hop, are there any serious attempts at being the bad guy? please don't bring up any KKK music about how some hillbilly wants to lynch someone either. cheers, dan

so, to contrast, the singer never wants to be the bad guy, but, honest lyrics are some of the best ones our there. i would like to explore the reasons and rationale behind the long-standing rule that the singer never wants to be the bad guy. Also, i'm usre there are a lot of really good lyrics to be had by being the bad guy. any artists ever explore this fully? can anyone name a few of them for me? cheers, dan
