That's where knowing your band comes in

311 have been around for 20 years, that means circa 1985 311 started churning out music. Some musicians make music for music's sake, not for album accumulation. I restate that 311 has been making music for around 20 years.

As for stealing ties, think of it this way. Your friend goes out with this hot girl who is great to make out with. So say that your friend and his girl break up, and he has no ties to her at all...pun intended. Wouldn't you want to date that girl? Yes you would, and then you would try to date her. The same is true for tie stealing. You see a nice tie that you covet in your heart, and then fortune smiles on you and you have the opportunity to take the tie and make it your own. So you do. Keith you shut up.

Back to 311. If you know 311 then you know that they have some beautiful lyrics. Granted a lot of them are about smoking pot, but every musician needs a muse. See 'uncalm' and 'don't dwell' and 'champagne' and '8:16 AM' for references about what to whisper in girls ears. Again with knowing your bands' history.

Back to U2...they are awesome no doubt. Awesome.

Back to Mt. Ranier, I almost died taking a picture of it. Take that Mt. Ranier!!

Back to why PA sucks. Listen I just came back from the west coast, and she wanted me to tell you something: Life outside of W. PA is awesome. Dont' settle. Again with the girl analogy, if you had a chance of dating penelope cruz, but had a sure fire date with, say, Drew Berrymore, wouldn't it behoove you to try to at least get a date with penelope? Sure drew is aight, but penelope cruz is...well, penelope cruz. Go for it, leave western pa while you still can. Dmac I know you can relate because you're from cali soca (another 311 jam worth checking out).

Plus, 311 covers sublime on their bsides with an a capela version of 'What I got'. It's so cool.

PS: I'm in West Coast mode right now. It's technically only 9:00 in my mind, but work comes at me too fast on East Coast Time, so I need to get to bed. Don't do drugs.

Even if you want to hook up with your best friend's old girlfriend or current in between (on break) girlfriend. I think we all know that everyone gets pissed off when that happens and its bad news. It's like rule number one of guy code, don't take another guys old girlfriend. Sometimes you break it, but everyone knows it is wrong. You're wrong Drew
