\u201cWhat I wanted you to know the whole time in the spirit of Nina Simone, in the spirit of real artists, this is the song that broke the writer\u2019s block for me because it\u2019s something I wanted to say so bad that they told me I couldn\u2019t say. That night when I went onstage was the beginning of the end of my life. Lady Gaga canceled the tour the next day. You know what night I\u2019m talking about. When I just said what everybody else was thinking.”<\/p>\n
