someone i know interviewed good charlotte a few months ago while i sat in the lobby of the sony building and waited for her. and she came out with them, so i saw them briefly... how strange that we're connected in this roundabout way. small world indeed!

very small world. i keep forgetting they're no longer just a local maryland band. one minute he's graduating high school and the next, he's on mtv and there's a rumor that he's bringing mandy moore (teen pop starlet) to the prom.

Ao say can yew see ba de don's early late,
What sao praddly we held at de twahlate's lass gleemin,
Hews broad strapes en brate stors, frew de pearlus fate,
Ore de ramparts we watched were sao gawwandly streamin?
En de roggets' red glare, de bums burstin in air,
Gabe proof frew de nate dat air flag was still dere.
AO say does dat stor spangelt ban-an-ner-er ye-ed way-abe,
Ore de la-ann ub de free en da haome ub de brabe.

I think I would be scared if I ever did.

I think Sean knows him or one of them or some of them from when he played in a band.

[absinthium]

That can be said of most locals who played in rock bands during that time.
