This song is about how everyone has their own vices, no matter how small they are; and that people shouldn't look down on others just because their vices are different. >>

Like most Cinderella songs, this one was written by their lead singer, Tom Keifer, who told us in 2013: "When I wrote it, it was one of my favorites and still is one of my favorites. Sometimes, that's all you have to go by is your own personal taste. I've certainly tried to stay true to the music that I love, and when I'm writing a song, I always say that you're making records, first and foremost, for yourself; for the love of making music that you love, that you play, that you like to sing. From that point, you hope that other people like it."

Randall Terry from AlThis is one of the best songs EVER! You've got country, rock, rhythm and blues in one song. Totally awesome!!!
Aiden from New JeraeyIts a great song with a timeless message and sound. The music video has to be one of the best ever produced! Sad, the band is no longer together.
Allona from CanadaLittle Richard was in this video. How cool is that?
Diverdriver from Northern CaliforniaYes, Tipper Gore did so much for the safety of the children. Free speech is what our founding fathers felt was most important, hence the First Amendment. Even unpopular free speech is supposed to be protected.
Of course, I'm being sarcastic. What did or could Tipper do to protect our kids?
Heather from Holbrook, NyGotta love the Tipper Gore dig.
