Perhaps a lunatic was simply a minority of one.

Summary

This quote from George Orwell's book "1984" suggests that the concept of being a "lunatic" or someone who is considered insane or crazy is subjective. It implies that what society perceives as sanity or normality is often determined by the majority, dismissing the opinions and perspectives of individuals who don't conform to societal norms. Orwell implies that sometimes what is considered crazy or unusual by the majority may be the unique thoughts or ideas of a minority, questioning the validity of labeling someone a "lunatic" based on their divergent beliefs or behaviors.

With the song 'This Christmas' I wanted to do something that was kind of different. I mean, Donny Hathaway is an amazing artist. So I wanted to bring my flavor to the song so when people over the age of 45 or 50 hear it they'll be like 'OK, he did his thing with that record.' It's like I can appeal to everybody and not just a younger demographic.
