That's Not Me

"That's Not Me" is a song by the American rock band The Beach Boys, the third track from their 1966 album Pet Sounds. The song was composed and produced by Brian Wilson with lyrics written by Tony Asher. Asher has expressed dissatisfaction with the lyrics for the song, describing them as "labored", and that he had "missed the mark". In 1976, Brian stated, "I think That's Not Me reveals a lot about myself, just the idea that you're going to look at yourself and say, 'Hey, now look, that's not me, kind of square off with yourself and say, This is me, that's not me'."

    An inquiry about the attitude towards the release of so-called political prisoners. I should be very sorry to see the United States holding anyone in confinement on account of any opinion that that person might hold. It is a fundamental tenet of our institutions that people have a right to believe what they want to believe and hold such opinions as they want to hold without having to answer to anyone for their private opinion.
    Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)

    In the most desirable conditions, the child learns to manage anxiety by being exposed to just the right amounts of it, not much more and not much less. This optimal amount of anxiety varies with the child’s age and temperament. It may also vary with cultural values.... There is no mathematical formula for calculating exact amounts of optimal anxiety. This is why child rearing is an art and not a science.
