Why I'm Feeling Guilty About Britney

I feel compelled to offer some liner notes to "My Weekend With Britney," because I'm feeling a little guilty about one part of the song.

I wrote the song months ago, long before Ms. Spears' latest troubles. So please - Britney fans, don't slam me. I had no idea what was gonna happen. Seriously. Given the circumstances, I considered changing the lyrics at the last minute, but decided I should offer it up as it originally came to me.

Normally songwriters don't like to talk about the meanings of their own songs, because everybody interprets things differently. Besides, who am I to say what a song means?

But in this case, I will say only this: after listening to this song many times, I think I realized it's not really about Britney or anyone else.

(Now stepping off the trippy Kumbaya soapbox)

Feel free to leave your thoughts in the smartass comments. Click on "Comments" at the bottom of this post.

I wanna say thanks to my friend Jon Leslie, whose great sense of humor helped inspire this idea in the first place.

And finally, I'll post the lyrics soon. It's more fun if you just listen to the song without seeing the lyrics first...
