OK, so Blink 182, as many of you may or may not know, got me into punk rock music, not that they were the eitome of punk rock music, but they introduced me to such bands as NOFX, Less Than Jake, MXPX, etc. etc.

Anywho, I saw that they were on Jimmy Kimmel Live the other night and as the videos loaded on Youtube I read some comments, mainly dissing Tom Delonge's voice. I was enjoying the video but then realized exactly what they were talking about. IF you choose to watch the video above (one of the songs that got me through a LOT of heartache and such) notice the ego on Tom. He went from being this silly, funny character to this egotistical, arrogant dude. He is in his Angels and Airwaves mode I suppose, but it was annoying seeing him have changed SO much. I also have watched several videos on what happened to Blink 182. Mark informed the world that toward the end Tom was talking to them through his manager. It just ain't right. I would love to have the opportunity to see them on this reunion tour, BUT the pit seats are $215.50, Kevin ain't made of that kinda dough people. I would be all about seeing them from the pavillion but I just have this thing about sitting down at a punk rock show. And the lawn, well, fuck the lawn.

I suppose I should have put this little tidbit of information at the beginning, but notice the hair swoop at 2:26, it just shows a certain arrogance.
