And here Johnny comes along, and on name recognition alone gets the big name producer, etc...

I feel like he's just grasping at straws here, as far as what to do with himself (which I can relate to in a sense, as I'm graduating college in May, but seriously dude...). Which would be fine if it were with something he seemed to have previously gravitated toward, like with fashion and all, but this...? Who knows, maybe he'll be able to pull it out of his bumb, but color me very wary at the moment.
