My uncle would swear and smoke and tell me to shut up while he watched the football game — and I loved him more. <br /><br />And I trusted him more. I think there's something about sincerity that doesn't make assumptions about what others want — that isn't even interested in others. <br /><br />Some people (or art, or music) are desperate for our love and approval.
