"I see a sign that says 'Your music saved my life.' You saved your own life. It's important you know that. Our music may have been the gasoline, but you're the engine. You saved yourself."
Pete Wentz, 2ourdust Seattle - handwriting taken from the show's setlist
i step out onto stage clad in full corpse paint and death metal regalia and start playing the most middle-of-the-road soft rock you've heard since 1974
i also need a Moment to get misty over how the very, very last 8-ball of tour/2ourdust.....was wilson. a song from mania, fall out boy's unfavored child. the folie of their posthiatus era, a deeply divisive record, the record born from strife. i became such a strange shape from trying to fit in, in a tour that celebrates being unabashedly weird. i hope the roof flies off and we all get blown out into space so we sail out into the cosmos and we land among all the (so much for) stardust. i know it's just the number, but you're the 8th wonder - stardust, their 8th record.
the first 8-ball was ginsafs at wrigley. wilson was the last. it's a strange way of saying that i know i'm supposed to love you and there's nothing more cruel than to be loved by everybody but you.
i don't know. there's a symmetry to it. im so glad the final 8-ball of this tour was from mania. a tip of the hat to her, because she deserves it.
I think female rebellion music, for lack of a better description, is my favorite music ever. I’ve been obsessed with the riot-grrrl punk scene for a while... I feel a lot of kinship toward women, and I love writing songs about these female feelings of anger and resentment that aren’t so easily expressible in everyday life.
"Empowerment for me over the years has turned more into the stuff that lights a fire in me without other people having any influence. I get excited about things that I feel connected to, based on my actual instincts and not what other people think I should be doing or tell me to enjoy or not. It's really when you trust yourself because that's a hard place to get at this age. I think it's very easy to let other voices creep in. So anytime I feel like I'm in the right place at the right time, I can just trust that and feel safe, which is really empowering for me."
