Why are you only in the “What a Catch” music video for like two seconds?
There are two reasons. First and foremost, when I was writing the lyrics for the song, it was written from Patrick’s perspective… So it felt right for him to be the star of the video. Secondly, I feel like one of the things that really hinders Fall Out Boy is me. Sometimes the name Pete Wentz puts a black cloud over things, so I wanted to minimize my role in it.
I keep meaning to look up what this song is really supposed to be about. This just makes it more awesome until I do. (I know, I know, it's what it means to me, art speaks for itself bla bla, I'm curious and want to know :) )
And Pete, no dude. *gives cookies* I know there are fans who always have something to say about him but mostly it's just:
Dick: Hes a asshole!
Me: Why?
Dick: Your a asshole!
Me: Leave my asshole alone, pls, you remind me of a boyfriend I used to have with your anal obsession.
Dick: I'm not gay, I don't know why you would think I'm gay. I have friends who are gay and I'm ok with that but I'm not gay so don't say I am you fag.
Me: *listens to Patrick S. acoustics and watches the rain*
What I'm saying is, until I see some proof to the contrary I'm gonna say it's idiot fans who hinder the band, not an overly exuberant bassist.

khm... /rant :D

and not just fans, people who need to stick their noses and judge about stuff that isn't any of their bussiness in general. sometimes i really wish the internet didn't exist at all. it's a wonderful thing, because it allows bands to be way closer to their fans than any time before, but it also gives 'the fans' way too much power over said bands and they feel like they're allowed to use it just because they can. (did that make sense?)
