Regarding Iggy (or Come on in, but the Water's Not Always Fine!)

Allow me to attempt a metaphor. Imagine a big pool filled with people who arent allowed to get out of it. Whenever one tries to get out, they get grabbed and thrown back in. It's sometimes fun in the pool, but the no recourse for the people if/when they desire a respite from swimming all day, and having to work to stay afloat and not drown. They get real good at swimming, but SOMETIMES it sure would be nice to not have to be in the water.... Now he comes a Land dweller, dipping her toe in. She wades into the shallow end and splashes around and has a little fun.....She not a particularly good swimmer, but she is something of a novelty. Soon, all the other land Dwellers (and even a few pool dwellers) are looking at her and going "wow what an amazing SWIMMER! She is quite obviously the best swimmer EVER! She's the QUEEN OF THE POOL!" All this is being said in plain view of the lifetime pool dwellers.
 and then some a-hole pours a truckload of mud into the pool. All the pool dwellers of course are
stuck in the pool, with the mud, while our "pool Queen" merely looks at the mud in the pool and goes "look how dirty those pool dwellers are!" This is the nature of our fancy splashing land dweller.
Stevie Wonder once and "make sure when you say you're in it but not of it, you're not helping to make this worle a place sometimes called hell" Virtually everything young Iggy says has an undercurrent of "in it but not of it".
