Occasionally the album does seem to hint at genuinely darker subject matter, but these attempts feel rather half-hearted. “How Long” is a great example: “So give it up for anger / It makes us strong,” the song begins.

Chances are, if you grew up in the mid-1950s, you either owned an official Davy Crockett coonskin cap or had the lyrics of the television show's theme song committed to memory: "Born on a mountaintop in Tennessee/ Greenest state in the land of the free ...

...really believe that once you get to a certain level of public exposure, people are just entertained by the lives of other people. Sometimes it’s more artistically represented, through film or through song, and other times it’s more literally represented through tabloids and reality shows and people are just as engaged. I take it as a by-product of the industry that I’ve chosen...
