dude the where the light version of this is SICKNASTY GOOD!!!!! the part where its like "here is the line that you won't understand" and then everything comes back in; THAT is reeeediculous! and even better is that the line really is quality food for thought:
"here is the line that you won't understand: i'm half of a boy but i'm twice the man"
i definitely think that this is a little teaser that john is throwing to the top 40 crowd who just listens to his radio hits and doesn't really stop to think about his music. as far as my interpretation of "boy" and "man", i can't seem to fit one interpretation extremely well, but i have a couple. one is that boy refers to his early music career, where he was compared a lot to dave matthews and he was just another acoustic pop star. then man is his shift in musical direction going where very few can go. or, maybe boy refers to his singing talent, where he is only an average singer, but man refers to his guitar talent, where his playing is in a very elite league of guitar gods.
who knows. maybe i'm crazy. someone else weigh in please!
