I'm not sure that age completely takes the snark out of anyone.
What's always been funny to me is that no one -- not even Stevie who loves to complain -- ever says anything about
Second Hand News. It's like the music is fun, so it doesn't matter what the words are. But I don't think the sexual words are that much different than the words in
Come.
I think the song refers to Anne Heche's belief that she was God-- at least one of her split personalities was. And I think the last lines about falling to sleep in an enemy bed and waking up hurting from the things they said probably -- if it pertains to real life at all -- relates to a relationship Lindsey had with someone else, which lasted longer and was more studded with trouble and pain than his encounter with Heche was.
