I've often wondered why that happens, why people throw that label around so often when a "indie" band finds success. But Jimmy Eat World becoming pussies...surely you jest. (U2 rules.)

Therefore, how can that be selling out? That can be blamed more on a bad record deal than anything else. Anyway, I kind of like kids singing a song about drugs without knowing that's what it's about. And, no, it mainly started becasue my friend Doug was bad mouthing Modest Mouse, and then what you said compounded it, and I took too much offense becasue I hate when people don't like what I like and give me shit about it (like Doug was). I'm kind of a sensitive puss, remember? Kidz Bop 7 doesn’t need the consent of the bands to cover their music… they just need to pay the rights to use it. Therefore, how can that be selling out?

On the topic of U2, I think I'm the only one who is sick of them. I wouldn't mind if they dug a grave for themselves and the new metallica and laid to rest.
