What I Would Tell Blue October

     It’s kinda like this … Love the emotion, love the lyrics, and sometimes, it’s sorta pertinent.

      But I hate hate the makeup.  It’s not the 60’s anymore, and you don’t have to turn tricks.  It ain’t the 70’s anymore, and you don’t need a gimmick.  It’s not the 80’s anymore, and you know how to kick Trent’s ass.  The 90’s were just a bunch of “alternative” that all sounded the same.
     Believe what you write, believe in what you do.  That’s what’ll make me like you a little more.

     I mean, Jesus, sorry you smacked your girlfriend when you were drunk.  You poor bastard.  Wonder how she feels?

     Yeah, yeah… I know, you’d hate to see my enemies.  Well, I usually just wait for Karma to kick them in the ass.  I mean, if I didn’t plan out a way for something cool to work and have it turned into another thing to blow them up already, anyway.
     That’s blood on my hands.

     Got any songs for that?

     Dude, you drank.  You were an asshole.

     Get over it.

     Mind you, it’s a brilliant song.  It’s where you meet someone in a lonely world and you want spend you entire life with them, yet….

     You still might.  Go figure.  *shrug*

     Keep it up, tho.  And if you do, you’ll have more friends that Trent Reznor. That’s Life.

     And Mikey will still like it….

     Sometimes, I’ll hear something that sounds like someone transcribed the thoughts in my head.  Blue October managed to do it a lot, especially on their albums History for Sale and Consent to Treatment.

     Sure, it’s a long way from Rascal Flatts… But I still Melt
