Oh, Fall Out Boy! You’re so adorable when you try to look adorable–that sheepishness about the Wentz-wang incident, that awe at the nearly-naked chicks dancing around you, that willingness to play in front of actual hip-hoppish people. (Not to seem like spoilsports, but wasn’t the “knocking a 40 out of someone’s hand” gag done in Malibu’s Most Wanted?) But deep down, you just want to pile in the van and head back to the bingo hall, where you could stage-dive with aplomb. How sweet. One question: If you were still playing those Iowan basements, what on earth would you sing about?
