I'm a fan (and you should be too) because...
[some adjustments were made]
1.teenies haven't gotten to them yet (scratch that)
2.are down to earth (mehh its not the same as it used to be....)
3.MTV hasn't ruined them (scratch that)
4.they have very energetic sets
5.they make time for their fans
6.their concerts are smaller and more intimate(scratch that)
7.you always walk out with a smile on ur face after seeing them perform, especially when you see how happy they look playing *cough*john*cough*.
8.they have kick ass songs

so yeahhh.....i kinda had to make some adjustments to my old list, but meh... what can you do? we couldn't honestly expect to keep them all to ourselves no matter how much we wanted to. it was bound to happen, they were an amazing band, and that happens when you have a band as good as them.
