Cool Rock Boy

An excerpt from a now deleted blog post from Juliana on her official site in 2009:

I was a sucker for the cool rock boy archetype – the modern puer aeturnus. (I go on about this at length in the “Cool Rock Boys” chapter of my book, if anyone is interested in more of an explanation of my history in relation to this type. This song in particular was inspired by “James” and by my delusional sort of obsession with him and his persona – musical and otherwise.) I’m embarrassed to admit that I was so able to be lured into the trap, semi-unconsciously. I say “semi” because part of me always knew it when I was walking into trouble, and let it happen. The other part of me always wanted to believe in a new kind of wonderful and hoped for the best. Either way it was exciting for a little while, in a walking-a-tightrope kind of way.
