No, I mean, yes, yeah, that, but--Fever's about being broken, mostly. Is my point. Fever and the press after Fever were about being full of angst and self-doubt and rage against the world, and those things sold, those things raised him up and got him fame and money and the things he'd dreamed of. If I were him, I'd be a little scared to grow up and remember the good things and the valid part of my childhood and reach for happiness because what if nobody wanted that part of me? You know? People clearly wanted the arrogant, angry, hurt parts, but those are never what make up the whole person...but wouldn't you feel pressured to stay as those parts of you?
