I'm not sure if Bryan hated their guts because they were sort of were pricks to him when he was a kid(according to Bryan's mom in a interview she gave a few years back they sort of were).

Interesting after reading his lyrics. Come to think of it I'd suggest it's probably the closest thing to 'religion' as such on the record and Bryan made it. 'Seeing the light' brings that out. I'm not sure how religion did or didn't play a part with the others. |

Children are wise and then we seem to lose ourselves for a few decades, looking for that lost innocence & innate wisdom...some never regain it, some never bother to search...but it's in there, somewhere.
