Band Members: FOUR YOUNG ONES
Influences: other peoples parents. you know, like when they say we're "not right with the lord" and all that. that really gets to us. i'd say that's quite a big influence. what else, lets see... there was that time when we saw that guy punching a baby, and his wife or someone was yelling ''shut that goddamned baby up!" yeah, that was a big influence too. and the time when lou told that girl to stay away. and that her "bitch grandma" and her "cocksucking brother" didnt mean shit to him, and that he "didnt need nobody" because it was just a "temporary thing". oh, and there was that one time when we made the suicide pact with that russian boy, but then when we saw all that blood, we were too scared to pry the revolver from his cold, dead hands and so we just decided to play freeze tag instead. and the boy had to stay in that barn for like a week until we double dared noah to go tell the boy's mom what happend. and then she started to cry because she didn't have any money for a funeral. that influenced us, too. and there was that one time when that one guy was dying in the living room, you know, back in the late 70's. we dont know how he did it. i guess it was an influence though. or when i was dancing with that girl and i ended up step step stepping all over her feet. and i guess deer foot. thats like our favorite band, deer foot. and bucket head when he plays the rebel theme from star wars. ernies mixed drinks are quite influencial. and when people shout at us, "you're too liberal, faggots!" that too. or when they yell out stuff about "the monkey in the bush" at us, which we're still not really sure what they're talking about, but they still say it, thats an influence. pissing on ernie ball's grave? yeah, we'll throw that in there. its more of a given, really, though, than an influence. something we take for granted... but lets see... what else? that up and coming jewish glam rap guy. there was that time when we watched that naked homeless lady stumble out of her trailor and then the cops came and made her put on some goddamned clothes for chrissake, that was an influence. but then she wouldnt so the cops had to smack her around a little, not with their night sticks or anything, just with their flash lights, and then the cops saw us and we got scared, but all they made us do was promise that we wouldn't tell anybody. wait, what is influence?The CricketSoda Myspace Editor!
