Sean's got it right, pretty much. I've played in one band where every song was the result of jamming. In another of my bands, one person wrote the song and I've either added my own part in consultation with the songwriter, or else he's told me what to do. It really runs the spectrum.
I had a whole section about civic pride.

Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I would be interested in this newsletter as well. Will it be filmed and shown every Christmas? Or Halloween? Or Halloween and Christmas?
We could get together once a week even. We could have a dedicated building for these gatherings. And we could all dress up and sing along.
Sort of First Presbyterian meets Rocky Horror.
I am the Way the Truth and the Bowie.

So songs that say seize the day, or let's do it now while we're still young.
A couple of days late, but "Do Anything You Wanna Do" by Eddie and the Hot Rods -- an amazing piece of power pop.
I'm playing it on the radio RIGHT NOW!
(or I was... it took too long to post this)

(But I am coming to Rochester to see them with a friend! Who is, um, 23! And will hopefully make me look less old.)
I tend to go to concerts with a posse of underage fangirls, although two of them recently (finally) turned 21, so at least I'm not the only one with a wristband.
When I'm at concerts with people my age, it tends to be a little less fun and a lot more Stuff White People Like.

Isn't that the next Fall Out Boy single?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
There should be a band called That Band White People Like.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I don't actually go to concerts. I've been to one in my entire life that wasn't, like, people playing in a bar that you could wander in and out of. It was Harry Connick, jr, in like, 1995. And it was too crowded and pushy. So something tells me I am never actually going to see these bands live.

I've seen very few bands in recent years. Now if I'm considering seeing a show, my question is, "Is there seating, and do I have to show up way before the doors open to get seating?"
I just don't wanna be on my feet that long....

Oh, SNERK.
And also, yes.

Because books.
I'm trying to remember the last show I went to, and I'm having a really hard time. It may have been Steve Winwood at the Rutgers Auditorium about ... ten years ago? Which, wow. Not exactly filled with teenies, for one thing.
So seeing Panic and the rest of the bands on the tour should be interesting to say the least.
