You know, musicians who die prematurely always seem to have an odd pre-awareness of this. Examining just about any artist's lyrics will uncover the same spooky parallels as that of Mr. Talarczyk, from Buddy Holly to John Lennon, etc. Perhaps their creative ability extends beyond mere conventional thought

I just died a little inside when you called Sum 41 "edgy, hip, provocative new hard rock", and the resulting comparison to Protest The Hero. Especially the parts about edgyness, hipness, provocativity and hardness of rock. Oh yeah, and the comparing part.
(I have zero love for Sum 41 whatsoever, and disagree wholeheartedly with your description of them, lol :P No offense or anything, just something of a pet peeve band for me I guess.)
And my view of "huge" is very much a relative thing, lol. It's true, I never see them being mainstream darlings or anything - but I was talking about maybe an Alexisonfire type of popularity. Thinking about it more though, I see this as being very unlikely... Although again, I hope it does happen.
LOL, I had a feeling you might object to my Sum 41 comparison... Trust me, I'm not offended - there's definitely NO love lost between Sum 41 and myself - but I'm providing you with a layman's viewpoint.
And you know as well as I do that if they ever did achieve a modicum of success, they would inevitably be compared to Sum 41, based solely on regional origins, so I'm just bracing you for the potential future ;)
Well first off I'd like to apologize for my disappearance from our MSN conversation earlier. My Internet is being uncooperative and forcing me to write this in word and later pasting it as a comment (there go my hopes of beating Christopher to this post!). Luckily I had your post open in one of my internet windows and was able to read it after my Internet began causing me difficulty. I really do like how enthusiastically and passionately you write about music. It's a pleasure to read your posts even though for the most part I know not of what you speak. And with regards to your fast growing CD collection, there are much worse things you could be spending your hard earned money on. Personally, I'd like to see my CD collection grow quite a bit in the next year as it is seriously lacking at the moment. Speaking of which I think I'm going to go make myself a CD right now. Glad to hear your eye is getting better, Kathleen
