It's ridiculously true. Pete's lyrics (and maybe his entire existence) is the main reason I just can't bring myself to like that band. They're god-awful horrific. I can write out of my ass better than that (as indicated above).

Patrick's ear for music, however, is astounding. Brilliant even. The boy can write a catchy pop song; I'll give him that. I'm predicting Fall Out Boy isn't going to last (either they'll be ousted as their fan base finishes hitting puberty like the boy band they are or Pete will do us a favour and off himself), but I get the feeling Patrick will be around in this biz for a very long time.

I see Patrick as more of a behind-the-scenes type anyway. Maybe because he's little and bald and has no self-esteem, but he never seems very comfortable in front of the camera or in concert. I can, however, picture him at a mixing board in a studio creating sheer brilliance.

I hope FOB's fans learn their lesson. That's the problem with allowing yourself to become so popular and building on it and feeding on it. Once your younger fans realize how shit you are (or move on to the next big thing), you really have no fans because all the ones who were there from the beginning are so damn alienated. I'm almost hoping Panic!'s next CD is shit so that the same thing happens. I mean, I love them and all, but the fandom is just ridiculous.

I agree with you in each and every way.

I'm challenging my f-list to try their hand at writing like Pete. I even added a tutorial (read: recipe) onto the bottom of the post for your convenience :)

So, whaddaya say? I dare you.
