Or was that just me

Don't know what that is

Oh guess not

They were talking about it in their newest episode that released a couple days ago so the timing seemed perfect lol

wish I would have saw them live in their prime

I think "Adam's Song" is enduring because the theme of loss is something that most people can understand, and for those of us who experienced it earlier in life, having a "fun" band put out something more poignant was definitely a moment that resonated.

It's funny how quite a bit of that had universal appeal.

Excited to see Blink at Riot Fest this coming weekend

hell yeah it is

Also, I haven't watched the video in a couple of years but I remember it well as it was a favorite back when it was on MTV. I never really thought on it before but they're one of those acts that has "grown up on film" throughout their history. I think they first hit big around 97 or so and popped out a couple of videos and they released that "we're glad Tom and Travis aren't dead" song/video a year or two ago. I often hear people mention actors aging before our very eyes but I suppose very successful musicians do the same. It's certainly not a new thought given how many 50 year-old acts are still going, but it hits a bit different when the group first hit big by selling records to targeted at your age group.

On a side note, I wonder if any of Travis' tattoos from back then are still visible, as he's now fully inked.

Tag to watch later, I've been on an off-and-on kick with this era and "genre."
