Willow ,'Lies My Parents Told Me'
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.
Did you guys read the ridiculousness about the 13-year-old girl in England who killed herself because she was part of an "emo cult" who listened to MCR? [link]
(Not ridiculous that she killed herself -- obviously -- but because The Black Parade is being mentioned as a factor.)
(Oh, and how MCR is so *incredibly* pro-suicide. t /sarcasm )
I'm not even going to click on that link, because if it's the article I think it is, there was a HUGE response to it explaining that there is no such thing as an "emo cult", MCR actively tries to encourage their fans to get help if they're depressed, and that on the whole, the writer was a moron.
Oh, Teppy, Toro's hands are GIGANTIC.
I mean like whoah
My Toro Pick has little scratches on it. From the mad mad shredding. I could just fucking die.
Toro's hands are GIGANTIC.
Nrgh.
Definitely not clicking on that link.
I am excited - it looks like I'll be going to a lot more live shows now, and even better, not have to pay for them. This is a win-win, I feel.
on the whole, the writer was a moron.
The writer clearly is, but he (she? I can't remember what gender the author is) got his/her ideas from a larger context of people who are totally missing the point.

Which one is he?
It would be nice if people would stop blaming adolescent suicide on music preferences. Correlation does not imply causation, you fearmongering motherfuckers.
The guitarist with the 'fro.
He plays Desert Song on an accoustic guitar. And he's sitting on his little chair right in front of me and his hands just DEVOUR the guitar and in the course of my blissing out I'm thinking "Teppy would climb over security and get him..."

There was a lot of backlash in the UK about the inference that MCR was an "emo cult." Since Gerard has spoken more than once from stage about the importance of getting help if you're depressed, clearly the author has their head firmly up their arse.

Bears repeating.
Are there people who self-identify as emo?
