About this Quote

This quote by Ricky Nelson speaks with the concept of feeling like an outsider. He is saying that although people understood his name, they didn't understand him or his music. He felt like he didn't fit in, and that he was different from everybody else. This could be interpreted as a sensation of loneliness and seclusion, as he felt like he was on the outdoors searching in. It might likewise be interpreted as a sensation of being misunderstood, as he felt like nobody was listening to his music or taking the time to be familiar with him. This quote speaks to the concept that often it can be tough to find a location where you seem like you belong, and that it can be hard to be accepted for who you are. It is a suggestion that we should all make the effort to learn more about each other and to appreciate our distinctions.
