You always hurt the ones you love.

Hey, hello, how ya doing? Today I'm going to go into yesterdays entry. So on the blog of the great Brendan Kelly (bassist and singer of the greatest band in the world The Lawrence Arms) there has been a little argument about the band Against Me! Some people hate them for "selling out" and some people still don't care and love them anyways. So in Mr. Kelly's blog , he wrote about how if didn't like Against Me! anymore, then you were envious prick and you should do something with your life. Well this kinda made me angry, and I said that BK should go suck a cock. Well this does not mean that I hate BK or The Larry Arms, I know that he is sticking up for his friend and thats fine, I would probably do the same thing if a friend was attacked. But for BK to say that not likeing his friend's band is Sarah Palin like is kinda goofy. What I always loved about punk rock was the fact that you didn't have to agree with everything that a band was saying. It's about thinking for yourself and looking at everyone's view point. I'm not a vegan, I'm not a pacifist, I don't give a shit about stright edge, I don't fucking care about the scene. I like bands that don't give a fuck about money or labels or what their fans think. That's why I love the Lawrence Arms, They write heartfelt songs that speak to me. Alkaline Trio has been on a major label before and I still loved them, they changed thier sound and still I loved them and bought their records, even when people said they sucked and said I wasn't punk if I liked them. Well then I guess I'm not a punk, to me they never changed and I never lost that connection I felt when I listened to their music. With Against Me! New Wave just lost that passion, I don't give a fuck if every single critic in the world thought it was the greatest album ever or if Chris Hannah himself said that it was his favorite album, I don't like it. It didn't have that connection that I felt with previous albums. It doesn't mean I hate Tom Gabel for "selling out". It means I didn't like the last album. That's it thats all. I am by no means a jealous motherfucker for not liking something. I will listen the White Crosses and If I like it I'll buy it just like I do everything else. And if I ever met Tom Gabel I'll say "Hey Tom, love your music man, take it easy." Cause I do love the music, I just don't like one thing that he made. Alright man thats it for this subject, I'm done arguing about this shit. Later guys.
