After the baby with the dumbest name on the planet was born, Pete Wentz said that he suffered from some serious writer’s block.
He said that after he became a dad, he realized how much parenthood had affected his ability to write songs, but what was his excuse before???
He said, “For the first six months after Bronx was born, I couldn’t write at all, and then all of a sudden I started writing again. I think it made me look at the world in a different way. We have a very selfish culture, and we all embrace it, and that what ‘I Don’t Care’ was supposed to be about, and what ‘America’s Sweethearts was supposed to be about. I hate explaining lyrics because it feel like ‘Whatever’ but ‘I Don’t Care’ was about looking at a picture of yourself in the mirror, like the ultimate form of narcissism.”
Get on it, Pete. We want some more of that “Sugar, We’re Goin’ Down” and none of that “America’s Sweethearts” crap. If we wanted to hear that crap, we’d listen to Miley Cyrus.
Kthnxbye.
