None of us can definitively say what it is about. We are guessing. I just agree with a certain interpretation, that's all. Makes sense to me if he feels that way, right or wrong is a different thing.

stip wrote:wealthy famous male rock star writes big swinging screed about how friends shrewish wife is responsible for ruining his life, blaming her for his choices

this is a familiar, ugly, toxic trope. And it would be both wildly out of character and beyond petty if true. Obviously I cant say definitvely if it is or isnt.

considering the source, a male rock star who has been championing women's rights for his entire career, i think the tone of the message is a little bit different.

maybe this is about his brother's wife and he actually hates her? lol

Maybe it's about Princess Diana

Any time Eddie is angry from 2001-2009, I assume he wrote it about Bush. 2015-2022, let’s assume it’s about Trump, or some machination of another bad person…and Trump.

I really think it's about Princess Diana

We've got that Elton John connection on the record. The pieces fit

i almost don't care about the lyrics, this song is great. are these handclaps? the fuzzy guitar is awesome with the keys in the background. EV sounds great.

yeah, it could be about her for sure.

This is making me realize how little I pay attention to lyrics.

These lyrics are pretty darn vague and could be interpreted a million ways. People zeroing in on this cornel thing and now a discussion about ed being a mysognist or not now has me loving the song even more due to its vagueness.

Great melody. Great voice. Great music.

Great stuff, guys.

Still trying to guess if you like this album or not

no, it's more complicated than that; Ed is not "a misogynist", but that doesn't mean he hasn't said and written misogynist stuff (he has, before now)

misogyny is as misogyny does

Being angry with one specific hoovering woman is not, by nature, misogynistic. Especially when it doesn’t use any derogatory terms.
