I gotta be straight with you dude, it shows. You don't even attempt to segue coherently between the new Weezer album thing and the Jack White wannabe thing. On the other hand it doesn't matter because the performance in that video is fucking awesome. It was totally worth it. I even got a chill up my spine when they started singing along with you. I grinned my mug off the whole time.
So what if you weren't Young Jack White. You still owned the stage. For those 5 or 6 minutes that night you commanded yourself in front of an audience. The imperfections don't matter because you projected the right kind of rebel teenage fearlessness. Ugly and obnoxious? Maybe, but you're up on stage, not swearing at old ladies in the street or changing lanes in front of me without indicating. Entertaining? Fuckin' oath. The world needs more kids like you.
And your hashed together trojan horse of a post was fun anyway, so it's win-win.
(Fun fact - I've been on here with you for coming up on four years and until last month I always read your last name as Ripoli. There's nothing wrong with my monitor or my eyes so I'll just put it down to my rampant idiocy.)
