Katy Perry writes songs to rebel. Something you might not know about Katy – her mother is a minister! Katy writes songs, specifically ‘I Kissed A Girl’, to defy her strict religious upbringing and voice her opinions. Ouch. Does mama know that?

More pictures of Katy after the song…

Katy is a talented writer, but where would she be without all the rules she grew up with? From the SF Gate:

“My religious upbringing was comically strict — even the Dirt Devil vacuum cleaner was banned. In our house, no one was allowed to refer to deviled eggs. We had to call them angelic eggs.

“We were never allowed to swear. I’d get into trouble just for saying ‘Hell no’. If you dropped a hammer on your toe in our house you had to say something like ‘Jiminy Christmas’. The only music we were allowed to listen to was gospel. No wonder I rebelled.”

Holy…that is some strict rules! It’s good that Katy is on her own and writing great music. What have you done to rebel against your parents? Write music? Books? Poetry? Worse?
