Midlife Crisis

I'll be turning 40 later this year.

[Pause for shock.]

Since I'm in no way portraying any of the typical signs of a midlife crisis [pause for laughter] I'm thinking it might be interesting to look at some musicians and see if any such crisis can be interpreted in their music.

The song Midlife Crisis by Faith no more is, I assume, about a midlife crisis.

Thing is, front man Mike Patton was 24 or so at the time the song was released. So maybe it's not. I've listened to it several times now and I'm not sure what it's about at all. A cold maybe, he seems to want a kleenex.

I guess I'll have to make a serious attempt at interpreting lyrics to find any real signs of midlife crisises.

Don't wait up.
