While taking my time to develop a surly approach to this review, I continously found myself thinking of Blink 182's "The Rock Show" considering (1) fORMER and The Beauty School Dropouts has been my only "rock show" since Buzzfest IV and (2) I left feeling like a big indie nerd at the rock show.

True: My music preferences differ from most rock fans and NR.net readers.

False: I am a music snob who can't enjoy a good show.

With that being said, I wrote this in the style of "The Rock Show" minus the aabb or aaabbb rhyme schemes. I may be clever, but I'm not that clever. Prepare to reply with how much you disagree with me, but thank you for reading it.

Went to see fORMER and BSD last Wednes’dee

Ordering beer, waiting for the show to start

In a booth at On The Rocks, an hour past show time

Former’s drummer woke us like a tornado siren

Each player had his own personality

Denny was vulnerable, Ian was oozing sex

Henry was full of energy

Corey’s arms must be bionic, never ceasing

But I felt like a big indie nerd at the rock show

I didn’t wear vintage, spiked hair or a bandana

It was free, I was curious about all the hype

fORMER used drum tracks but good words

I won’t be surprised to see them in a film

As the band at the club where the lovers meet

The Beauty School Dropouts fivesome then began

A raucous crowd of two rows formed at the front

Foot on monitor, Jimmy sang to the back wall

Or he screamed at the right of the stage where nobody stood

I felt like an indie nerd at the rock show

Forgot about the prerequisite eyeliner

I don’t really enjoy being screamed at that much

But BSD did play the Foo Fighters’ “Hero”

While Josh gave good back-up, Jimmy shouldn’t Grohl

I just had fun watching them adjust their hair

“Radio” brought on the crowd’s nodding chins

Jimmy asked for Jager

And the wuss took three sips

He then told us four times about their shirts

Then played a t.A.T.u. song:

“All The Fucking Things You Said”

I felt like an indie nerd at the rock show

I was quite bored with the Beauty School Dropouts

I felt bad because the fans only knew two songs

Overall the Dropouts were a let down

Appearing pretentious and superficial

I’m glad I went to the show

(It was good to see Denny’s band) after the Bombshell Crushed

(I liked fORMER’s old school 80s) nods with new rock tremblings

(While BSD isn’t) my cup of music tea

(Jimmy, please, stop giving) yourself the devil horns
