Just a bit OT mate, just a bit . . .

Curse you, skim-reading!

I visit various message boards and forget what I post where, so I apologize if I've said this before.
The first band that reminds me of this is Weezer. I saw them back in 2001 with my then-girlfriend. She had to write a paper for a music class she was taking. During that show something hit me -- this guy reminds me of Buddy Holly. He looks like him, sings a song about the guy, and his songs tackle the same material.
Think about it. A lot of the early rock and roll has the same subject matter as what we may dub emo these days. Both of them address subjects such as love that got away. Musically, they may sound different, but the subject matter is all there.
I had another thought too, but I've been drinking, so its lost on me.

Yeah, Rivers looks like Buddy Holly. But then again, all the cool "hipster" things going on are reverting back to that style. Wait . . . did I just hit on something? Is it conscious postmodern coolness? It might be . . .
Dreeeeeam, dream, dream, dreeeeeam, dreeeeeam . . . I can make you mine, taste your lips of wine, anytime, night or day . . .
