I guess if you are going to own up to be a repeat petty thief, you need to talk about something else to make people's eyes move elsewhere.

Mr. Brown also writes about shoplifting as a teenager, including stealing a three-piece suit, according to The Boston Globe, which obtained a copy of the book on Wednesday. He previously acknowledged being arrested for shoplifting albums when he was 12.

Maybe it's cathartic.

I never saw the sense in people airing their dirty laundry. But maybe this will help someone else see they're not the only one.
God bless him.

Well, if it is true, it appears that he has dealt with it in an effective manner. Kudos to him!

That's not an easy thing to do.

Pretty judgemental Aren't you? The guy had issues he has apparently worked through. He had a pretty bad childhood from what I gather.
