Oh Those Boys (Men?) of Music

Alright so.

The boys (men now? men...) of fall out boy. Grateful. They look like they have won the greatest job in the world and couldn't be happier. They stand there and look at us like we all came to grant them one special wish, not collective, no, all seperate, but all the same, and just for them. Each of us knows they have their own lives and we are not their sole source of happy. But for those moments. No one can even think of anywhere else. And making us feel so needed, so worthy of being there to see them because without us there would be no them, thats what sets them apart from all else.

Guitarist Frank Iero of My Chemical plays as though his very life depends on it. His body, his soul, his very being all merge into one collective entity, poured together and manifested into something
watching him is like watching a soul pour from his person live and in living color. and though i've only seen him on video, if his performance (which I don't think can rightly even be called a performance. it is like watching ________ in motion) that comes through >>> is any sort of telling, seeing him in person would evoke a level of awe only elicted by great works at the level of hearing Mozart or Beethoven in person for the very first time. To understand the movement from far away means the real-life must be incomprehensible.
