I just changed my profile for the first time in a long while. I have interests now and everything, you guys!

Sadly, all of the following ones are

My bandom is not your bandom, so I apologize, but I got the new Rolling Stone yesterday, and OH ERICA BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN'S STUPID LITTLE SOUL PATCH.

Nawwww! It's okay, they're both from New Jersey, so it totally counts, right? Isn't that how it works?

(By this logic, us loving on Amy also counts as bandom. I don't think that's a fault!)

Actually, I just like hearing about things that bring you squee, dude. YAY.

[cidercupcakes]

Yes! Also, have you heard the story about how they were approached by a "shadowy figure" one time, and he was like "oh man, my kids are huge fans, can I get your autographs for them?" and they were like "Sorry, what was that, BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN? You want an autograph? Why, sure, we'd be happy to give you an autograph, BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN!"

He talked about how when you're young and writing music, you're all srs bzns and you beat yourself up and spend hours doing it, "because you don't have a life", and then he talked about how great Jon Stewart is!

(I think this is an entirely logical and excellent conclusion!)

Also, his wife is AWESOME. He has a hot, talented, funny wife! And he has used the same guitar for decades! And he has a stupid little face with a stupid little soul patch!

I HAD NEVER HEARD THAT STORY BUT I GIVE IT A THUMBS UP FOR BEING TOTALLY AWESOME.

Jon Stewart is indeed great! *adds him to our list of NJ people to fangirl*

♥ ♥ ♥ You are SO CUTE.

You know who is really cute, though?

ALL THOSE PEOPLE FROM NEW JERSEY THAT WE HAVE NAMED.

I really wish I could rip the making-of movie from the We Shall Overcome CD and force it onto my flist (stupid Sony and their stupid anti-piracy software; I get the video but the sound is all distorted and staticky), because oh, Erica. The screencaps just do not do it justice. By the end of the night, he is drinking something from a blue bottle and dancing around, singing along to himself. His version of "Froggie Went A-Courtin'", no less, which is the most adorable thing on the planet on its own, but coupled with his stupid coat and his stupid dancing and his drunkenly singing along with himself? Oh my god.

This is not from that, but LOOK AT HIS STUPID DORKY FACE AND HIS "L0L THAT'S ME" AND THE FACT THAT HE DOES NOT KNOW HOW POCKETS WORK.

We should have a big post of Adorable People From New Jersey.
