I'm a fan (and you should be too) because... Well first off,. i think BLG is like the greatest band out right noww and like forever. they havee some strong lyrics mann. not some random stuff like some of these other bands have (much love other bands..). And I know the words to almost every song. BLG is my life. i visit this website every day when i can to see any tours, music videos, etc. I totally LOVE martin. he is like the best lead singer there ever was. and an awesome guitaristt. oh and dont forget the hair. I loooove Paulie too.[: I know that Martin wrote all of the songs based on things that happened to him in his lifetime, and that the songs are all in a sequence. i can relate to alot of the songs and it made me realize how much thought he put into those lyrics. i feel really bad for martin. i think everybody should have a mom in their life. i mean, they brought us into this world! its just, messed up. Love you guys!
