I know exactly how you feel, cause that's how I feel about Brandtson and Bedford Drive, cause I think they are so amazing and think everyone should enjoy their music (credit Megan for introducing me to them)...but I know if people get to know them well, I will feel like I am no longer special in a way...to be able to know them. I also get that feeling when there is a song I love on a CD by the Goo Goo Dolls, Matchbox 20, or Three Doors Down and then it starts being played on the radio and getting over played or hear someone else singing a long and I wonder if they really feel the power of the words like I feel, and think to myself that there is no way that they can, and I start to feel the song is cheapened by it or tainted even. Almost like the song loses it's virginity. Perhaps I am just crazy though.

Bands like Before I Go and Alucard are amazing, and I don't want some freshman in high school moshing to the songs when I am trying to watch them perform just because moshing is "cool." Sorry. That rant went on much longer than I expected. I was just
