    Over the top melodrama. If that’s what John was so pissed about he needed to grow a pair. His aunt and uncle provided a great home for him. Light years better than his biological parents. It’s fine to use your angst to drive your music but after watching this movie I’ll be dammed if can see where all his anger came from. More like he was just a real jerk from the get go.
