Hey, soda_and_capes, I came across an article on the National Public Radio site today which I thought you might like, Fall Out Boy Rewrites the Gender Roles of Rock. Although I completely disagree with their statement, "Wentz doesn't look like a typical rock star. He has inky black hair, a goofy grin and a predilection for wearing eyeliner and girls' jeans on his alley-cat-skinny frame, and he kisses his male bandmates on stage." No, that actually follows a long and solid tradition in rock. I think he's just edging it a tiny bit further and being a little more successful getting into mainstream than his predecessors because the time is right.

I was there checking on the spelling of Kai Ryssdal's name for an addendum to my drunken post of last night, which is now public. For at least a little while.

Hm! Mixed feelings about the article. I completely agree that Pete didn't fucking invent that style/kind of subversion. Jesus. But there's a lot of stuff in there that's true.

Also, this paragraph:
Panic! at the Disco was started by a high-school student who relentlessly posted messages on Wentz's blog. Krochmal says that Wentz helped the band take over the airwaves and MTV while encouraging its members to wear flamboyant makeup and kiss each other on stage.
SKETCHY. I love my creepy canon. :D :D :D

Yeah - can you say "stalker!" I'll bet you can.
