So last night. I get this im on my aol account. I get them all the time from Stacy who has a wild web cam and such, so I was thinking this was a crap im again. I was wrong. They said hello. so I thought, I'll bite, and I said hello back.
he said, "This is Oren from FOCS"
holy shit, holy shit. Sure enough, he knew my name and said that he got my email that said that i felt so sad that the band was breaking up. He copied my email add. and put it on his buddy list like he does for the thousands of other fans that email them. He decided that he would take a break and talk to me, because he thought that it was funny that I was "jlow". Holy shit.
I didn't ask him anything, I was totally skeptical. He came right out and told me that he could remember me and my friend from that show in MA. He remembered talking to us after the show, and signing her shirt with a "happy birthday". Wow. He told me why the band was breaking up, and that they would try to have a reunion tour after stack's wife had the baby.
I told him that "what's it all about" is such an amazing song, and that from the first time I heard them in 8th grade, I loved the sound, the genious behind the lyrics and the vocals. He was flattered in the least.
It was so amazing to talk to him. He was so humble and thankful and normal. I was just freaking out. Absolutely freaking out. He said that we would talk again, that he hoped that we would keep the music alive. Will I ever. But when will I ever talk to the lead singer of one of my favorite bands online again. Wow.
