Was pretty good, interesting view of a band trying to get back on top.

Sales have slumped at Hot Topic recently. And the food court wiggers have moved on to Borders.
The show is at 9:30 and Army of Me is opening.
just kidding…still at the cat…

This quote says pretty much all you need to know:
"Honestly, I wouldn't be standing here right now if it wasn't for them. I live in West Virginia and have purple hair. People stare at me and give me a hard time. Joel and Benj know what it's like to be a total outcast and a misfit. They made me proud to be different."
how many pretentious hipsters actually hang out at the 930 club? I think you're more likely to find them at Saint Ex.

Did anyone else see the review in this week's NY Times?
Ouch:
GOOD CHARLOTTE
â??Good Morning Revivalâ?
(Epic/Daylight)
Joel and Benji Madden are the twins who lead the pop-punk band Good Charlotte, and theyâ??re the kind of people who show up on magazine covers and start clothing lines and date Hilary Duff. (She spent a few years with Joel, who is now being photographed alongside Nicole Richie.) But â??The Chronicles of Life and Death,â? from 2004, was a dud, overblown and, not coincidentally, underbought. Now itâ??s time for the Madden twins to make amends.
What they have made instead is â??Good Morning Revival,â? a mystifyingly inept CD that includes some of the worst lyrics you will â?? or, with any luck, wonâ??t â?? hear all year. â??Keep Your Hands Off My Girlâ? is a foolhardy foray into rap (â??The hipsters mean-mugginâ?? on me all night longâ?); â??Something Elseâ? is a clumsy ode to odd coupledom (â??Her daddyâ??s a lawyer, and mineâ??s not around/She has good manners, Iâ??m rough all aroundâ?); â??All Black,â? which strains in vain for anthemhood (â??Take a look at my life, all black/Take a look at my clothes, all blackâ?), may single-handedly convince the nationâ??s goths to embrace pastels.
This band can still crank out a grand chorus, and thereâ??s one in â??The River,â? about decadent Los Angeles. But to find the albumâ??s most memorable moment, youâ??ll have to explore â??Where Would We Be?,â? a sub-Coldplay ballad that contains this admission: â??I must confess that Iâ??m a sinking ship,/and Iâ??m anchored by the weight of my heart, â??cause itâ??s filled with these feelings.â? One promising target market for this CD: countries where they donâ??t speak English. KELEFA SANNEH

Chyeaaaaaah, i read it. It was good, and interesting…and kinda made me like Benji and Joel. Butttt it was odd the was they weren't such "losers" in high school…but they indirectly "claim" it alot in their music.
Ding ding ding.Pooor girl, shes gonna be picked on a tad bit more. But, yeah, nobody is born with purple hair…you have to get purple Manic Panic for that :p
As a reformed "outcast", I'm always amused when people make statements that imply that they were BORN with purple hair.

While people may not be born with purple hair, perhaps some people are born with purple-haired souls. :)
But people are born with black hair with purple highlights.
