I Never Cared For You

The sun is filled with ice
And gives no warmth at all and
The sky was never blue
The stars are raindrops
Searching for a place to fall
And I never cared for you

I know you won't believe these things I tell you
No, you won't believe
Your heart has been forewarned all men will lie to you and
Your mind cannot conceive
Now all depends on what I say to you
And on your doubting me
So I've prepared these statements far from truth
Pay heed and disbelieve

The song 'I Never Cared For You' was written and recorded by Willie Nelson on the album The Essential Willie Nelson released in 2003. In typical Willie style every note and fret reverberates with Spanish passion. No one plays a beat up, worn out guitar quite like Willie Nelson. The liner notes for The Essential Willie Nelson celebrates his 70th birthday with quotes and accolades from many famous performers and personalities. One of these notes says "Willie could have retired comfortably from the proceeds of the song Crazy' (Written in 1961 and recorded and made infamous by the late great Patsy Cline). Bet he wished he did when the IRS came a callin'.

Okay, so why the song 'I Never Cared For You'? To me, the song speaks of the fragile relationships of men and women through the use of reverse psychology. Wikipedia states: Reverse psychology is a persuasion technique that involves the false advocacy of a belief or behavior contrary to the belief or behavior that is actually being advocated. Wow that was a mouthful. And now back to our show...

What do women see in men anyways?

Now stand back men (and women) as I tar you all with the same brush...to hell with the brush today my keyboard is a Wagner Power Painter capable of 7.2 gallons per hour. Fifty percent of the time women are asking their better half sweetly, 'What are you thinking about?' The other fifty percent they are screaming 'What the hell were you thinking?' Well let me fill you in, were thinking, 'beernascarxboxfootballfishingbigscreenlesbians' thank you for asking. Not necessarily always in that particular order.

At the risk of sounding like Andy Rooney of 60 Minutes fame, 'Have you ever wondered why males always have their hand down the front of their pants?" I Googled that today and women are frantically wondering why we do this, posting questions in forums everywhere. Try it, I mean try Googling it not try putting your hands down your pants (men you may have to take your hand out of your pants just long enough to type in the search). I don't believe there is any deep meaning here. It's just common sense. Why do you think God made our arms the exact length to reach our crotch if we weren't meant to put our hands there? We don't need to bend our arms or our backs to do it. It is a naturally comfortable position. I suppose if our arms were long enough to touch our toes like apes we would always have a hand in our socks instead.
