For example, I remember the time when American Idiot by Green Day came out in 2004. The song “Wake Me Up When September Ends” was everywhere on the radio. The song is about the death of the vocalist’s father dying when he was age 10....
The first time I met him was at a GP on Sunday, everyone was starting to break down, and he still took 10 minutes to talk to me about stuff. I’ve got a playmat with a bunch of his signatures from all the times I’ve met him

This isn’t Internet is shit, this is UA making a useful product for a smaller market base.
