i agree with every one except when they say against me sold out... this song isnt really poking fun at them selves rather then realizing how the music industry works... theyre fan base has grown so large and through no fault of theyre own theyre getting more popular...if they could still play garage shows im sure they would but it would be unfair to theyre fans not to give them wat they want... and if they gave up on theyre fans try going to other concerts where the ticket price is jacked up and t shirts cost 5 times more more then the tickets...(last against me! show i saw tickets:$10 t-shirts:no more then 20) and the thing is i'd pay 100 dollars to see against me! if they put on the same show they put on that night(and for those of u wondering i saw this show AFTER the alleged "selling out" of against me" and it was still the best show i ever saw) so they HAVENT lost touch with theyre fan base... just lost touch with what every one thinks punk really is...
so for all u that analyze music in the amounts of money or status like u analyze against me's authenticity based on theyre album sales or wat record label they belong to or who sponsored theyre show...
here's some numbers for you...
Against me! concert ticket:$10.00
