Why I Am Not A Pop Star

It is not because my voice is Dylan-meets-Axl Rose via Peter Brady.
It is not because my body is shaped like the Alice In Wonderland caterpillar's hookah.
It is not because I am without angst or passion.

It is because I could never actually say the words that come out of these guys' mouths without laughing.

Backstory: I was visiting a friend's blog, who was talking about his displeasure with the word "retreat" being used in a spiritual sense. I was going to reply with the lyrics to Lenny Kravitz' "Fly Away."
Sorry for the length, but here are the lyrics to Lenny Kravitz' "Fly Away":

I wish that I could fly
Into the sky
So very high
Just like a dragonfly

I'd fly above the trees
Over the seas in all degrees
To anywhere I please

Oh I want to get away
I want to fly away
Yeah yeah yeah

Oh I want to get away
I want to fly away
Yeah yeah yeah

Let's go and see the stars
The milky way or even mars
Where it could just be ours

Let's fade into the sun
Let your spirit fly
Where we are one
Just for a little fun
Oh oh oh yeah !

I want to get away
I want to fly away
Yeah yeah yeah

I want to get away
I want to fly away
Yeah yeah yeah

I got to get away
Feel I got to get away
Oh oh oh yeah

I want to get away
I want to fly away
Yeah with you yeah yeah
Oh yeah !

I want to get away
I want to fly away
Yeah with you yeah yeah
I got to get away

I want to get away x4
Yeah
I want to get away
I want to fly away
Yeah with you yeah yeah
I got to get away

I want to get away x4
Yeah

I want to get away
I want to fly away
Yeah with you
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

This is why. I'm sure there are a bazillion other examples. And I probably sing along with them. I just could not sing them.
