Sage strikes me as the kinda guy who didn’t even know when Election Day was

Oh Christ yes. That fucking song. I graduated elementary school in 2000 (Catholic school, so we go kindergarten to eighth grade, no middle school, so they make a fuss when you finish eighth), so I had to suffer through it in 2000 AND 2004. I hadn’t thought about that song in years. I wonder what happened to Vitamin C?

Ho, ho. You got her good. Congrats!

The issue of youth violence is a matter close to the group. Foster was bullied in high school, while bassist Cubbie Fink has a cousin who survived the Columbine High School massacre in 1999. Fink said of his cousin’s experience, “She was actually in the library when everything went down, so I actually flew out to…

If I ever get married I want my wedding song to be Africa by Toto. Or to go dark with No Children or Love Love Love by The Mountain Goats.

Wrong song, friend.

That is not the song he is talking about, at all. That’s the Alessia Cara song currently on the radio. This is *James Blunt*’s hit song called Beautiful from the early aughts.

Once I finally listened to the words in the Pina Colada Song I was like “wtf?” it’s about two people cheating on each other and essentially catfishing each other, like, how the fuck did I think that was a nice song at some point???

Yeah, a bit older here, but “Today” by Smashing Pumpkins – about being depressed and contemplating suicide – was on all my running mixes in high school and college. So weird.

Or all the people who thought Cohen’s Hallelujah was a wonderful Christmas song that should be sung by children.

Or “This land is your land” (apologies for the incorrect caps...I’m drinking and being lazy right now...)

God help me, I was involved in a mosh pit to that song as a teen. I recall it fondly, for reasons my 31-year-old self cannot explain.

And the people who dedicate Pearl Jam’s cover of Last Kiss to their sweetie on the radio. The girl dies. That’s the point.

I had no idea drugs were involved in that song, but it always pissed me off that people found it romantic. Like, dude’s broken hearted because he won’t end up with a random hot chick he looked at for two seconds. I think he’ll live!

Also- Every Breath You Take.

Or people who think “Born in the USA” is patriotic. I mean, you could argue that it’s subversively/unconventionally patriotic, but it’s certainly no ode to Uncle Sam.

Huh. I didn’t know that about the song. Granted, every time it played on the radio I would turn it off.

Reminds me of people who think The Police’s “Every Breath You Take” is romantic.

Am I crazy, or am I seeing a Mother Box next to Mera? Someone please tell me I’m not crazy.
