Well, I was a fan for a long time and loved their music. But they really hit me hard with Minority. I've struggled all my life with being kind of a "black sheep" of the family and yet a high achiever. I did well in school. I've been known to quit my job to travel around, but I've never asked anyone else to take care of me - I've always landed on my feet and been self-sufficient. I've never had a problem with doing what I knew I needed to do, but I've always had this kind of struggle because I felt I couldn't please my family or other people I cared about. I would tell them about something I was going to do, and they would be so shocked and ... sometimes hurt ... I just couldn't understand it. I never doubted their love for me - it was their acceptance I was craving.
When I first heard Minority and heard the line "marching out of time ... to my own beat now," I thought - yeah, that's me. And then Billie just punched me in the gut with "The only way I know!" I started crying (and Minority is not a sad song, as we know...). But it's like hearing that one line set me free. My feelings about my life began changing on that day, and it's just gotten better and better ever since. I'm SUCH a different person - so much happier - and my family ... well I don't crave their acceptance any more ... their love is enough. I'm happy the way I am - it's the only way I know.
I'm not trying to make this sound over-dramatic. It's just the way it was and has been since. So I have to love these guys. They helped me grow up and learn a lesson many people have absorbed at a much younger age.
