hi sorry im new to being insane about fall out boy. what was the original lyric sheet like..? or whats happening with the lyric sheet stuff?

HELLO ANON IT IS SO EXCITING TO GET TO YELL ABOUT THIS

For. Ever. For 20 years since FUTCT came out, people noticed a difference in the sung lyrics and the lyrics sheet.

Sugar is a queer song anyway--"sleeping in or sleeping for the wrong team", e.g.--but people noticed that Patrick sings

"watching you two from the closet wishing to be the friction in your jeans"

(which. From the closet. Yes yes.)

But the lyrics sheet has the line as:

"wishing to be the friction in HIS jeans"

Which!!!!! Is!!!!! Mmmm!!!!!!!!!

Everyone assumed "his jeans" was the original line and someone made them change it--the label, probably--because it was the oughts and homophobia was just. Like That.

But no.

Pete changed the lyrics *to be more overtly queer.* It doesn't matter what Patrick mumble-sang, Pete fixed it in post in the lyrics sheet. Nobody took that away from him or tried to hide it--he put it in what he considered to be the most important place. He said what he really meant.

I can't find a scan of the og lyrics booklet, but here's a screenshot from an article in rolling stone from 2006 that references it:

EDIT: scan of the og lyrics booklet!

It’s so funny how people forget what certain dog breeds were bred for. A dachshund named Valerie has been marooned on a remote part of Kangaroo Island since she ran away from a campsite in 2023 and everyone in the comments was like “that is the last dog breed I would expect to survive on its own for 500 days”. Hmm. I don’t know if it’s just me and I’ve met absolute freak dachshunds my entire life but they’re tenacious little motherfuckers with an incredible prey drive. I’m more worried about the critically endangered endemic Kangaroo Island dunnart population than I am Valerie. No large predators, several species of small mammal, temperatures consistently between 55° and 75°? She’s the queen of the island now. All small marsupials quake at the sound of her footsteps.

These are some of the pictures I took from the life we live. I don’t want much. I just want to reach €5,000 to be able to at least buy daily aid as a normal person who wants to eat. I want you to donate to the target goal, knowing that only €870 is left to reach the goal. Don’t forget me 💔😞

Asking for help is not easy, but it’s heavy days 💔💔

To donate here 🙏🏻

I wonder what People Who Really Like Trains liked best before trains. the first sights of the first trains in history must’ve hit those brains like a galaxy going off.

"it felt less like people were there to be entertained than they were to worship at the altar of MCR" -source

Way is a practiced showman and masterfully commanded the crowd, strutting about the stage in his military band uniform, his character playing like the demonic offspring of The Emcee from Cabaret and Heath Ledger’s Joker. At one point, the audience voted on whether four people who questioned “the vitality” of the Grand Immortal Dictator should be put to death. Red “yea” and black “nay” signs were available throughout the venue before the show, and the crowd held them high. “It’s a lot of fucking red!” cackled Way, before saying he could tell the vote was close and decided it was best to give the people what they want – ordering the criminals “executed” by firing squad on stage.

As odd as that all may seem, it worked. And the crowd ate it up.

People showed up for the concert with their faces painted black and white, they dressed in outfits inspired by the costumes of the Black Parade, and nearly everyone else at least got the memo that MCR is a black attire affair. From the opening of the first song until the end of the evening, every line sung by Way was echoed by thousands of voices in Globe Life Field; people danced and cheered and waved their phones around, flashlights on, encouraged by Way, who made multiple mentions of how seeing all the lights in the crowd felt like looking at the stars over Texas

After they finished playing The Black Parade, the band took a short break for an outfit change. Rather than leaving the audience in stunned silence in the aftermath of the symphony of chaos Way had spent the evening conducting, they brought out cellist Clarice Jensen, who played a beautiful instrumental called “From A to B” while the band’s B stage was prepped.

When MCR returned, they had stripped away the artifice of their Black Parade alter-egos. Instead of uniforms, they wore T-shirts, jackets and jeans. Way spoke directly to the audience, not as the megalomaniacal representative of a fascist dictator but as himself. Gone was the atmospheric gloom of the first set, replaced by something more relaxed, joyous, sweeter and sillier.

The second half of the show may have lacked the cohesion of The Black Parade, but it made up for that with pure energy. The audience erupted when the band launched into songs from Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge (the MCR album preceding The Black Parade); in fact, the audience erupted basically anytime someone on stage made a sound. The floor was an undulating mass of bodies, hands in the air, cameramen capturing audience members singing along with Way. At times, it felt less like people were there to be entertained than they were to worship at the altar of MCR. That’s the kind of relationship the band’s audience has to them.

My Chemical Romance has created art that has outlasted its original run, touched multiple generations and influenced the artists who came after it. For over two decades, they have been playing music that makes the unseen feel seen, and for over two hours on an August night, MCR’s fans showed the band how much that means to them.

it's crucial that you untie "special interest" from "expertise". "it's true just trust me bro" doesn't have any extra weight when you add "I know because it's my special interest". you are not immune from falling for misinformation, and you are not immune from sharing misinformation. not to mention the fact that "amount of knowledge" isn't even a requirement for something being classified as a special interest lol!
