Sorry I haven't posted anything for a while. There wasn't a lot of material to blog about for a long time. But now there is!
Yesterday I was channel surfing and I came across a rock concert. I thought to myself: "sure, what the heck, there probably is nothing better on!" so I stuck around and was shocked to recognize Andy(drummer for Fall Out Boy)'s back-weird how I recognized him from the back, but he does have a unique and somewhat frightening tattoo on it. I decided to continue watching to see if they improved on their selling-out. They didn't. They were not even themselves it seemed: the stage acts were toned down to walking around for the most part, Patrick and Pete seemed bored, and even Andy's drumming was less flingy. After the concert, Pete said that he would like to that PBS for letting them do the concert and I though to myself "Whoa, did he just say PBS? only bands that didn't make it or old bands play for them!" Right about then I came to an epiphany and the puzzle pieces came together: Fall Out Boy is no longer who they were in their peak. They are on the downward-fall-off-the-backside-of-the-hill most newer bands seem to be doing nowadays. ...I wonder how long they'll still be around.
