Letter 9 - Someone I Wish I Could Meet

This post is going to seem pretty gay to most people, but I hope you understand why I picked who I picked. I'd like to say I'm a writer, but all I have to my name is a couple of unsung lyrics, some college papers, an article or two, and this blog. I aspire to be one, and I love this guys writing.

Dear Pete Wentz,

Dude you can write. Although I must say you're a huge sellout, you started our a true artist. Some of your lyrics are just fantastic, from Evening Out With Your Girlfriend, to From Under The Cork Tree. Some of your lyrics I would sing over and over again, you're one of the reasons I started writing, writing poems and lyrics. Your poem at the end of Get Busy Living or Get Busy Dying is amazing.

"From day one I talked about getting out
But not forgetting about
How my worst fears are letting out
He said why put a new address
On the same old loneliness
When breathing just passes the time
Until we all just get old and die
Now talking's just a waste of breath
And living's just a waste of death
And why put a new address
On the same old loneliness
And this is you and me
And me and you
Until we've got nothing left"

-Wentz

You know I think people don't really look into a band like Fall Out Boy. I was all about Fall Out Boy back around 2003. Seen you over ten times live. Its really a shame that you changed so much. I've listen to your stuff before Fall Out Boy. Arma Angelus is amazing, vocally and lyrically, which both you were the front man. You were the lyrical genius behind Fall Out Boy, and in my opinion, Fall Out Boy was one of the best lyrically based bands of this decade. To all you haters, go listen to the band, listen to the words behind the first three albums. Sorry Pete, I really can't vouch for the last two. Folie A Deux sucked. 

From Under the Cork Tree changed my life. And not Dance, Dance or Sugar, We're Going Down, but songs like Of All the Gin Joints in All the World and 7 Minutes in Heaven. Those songs kick ass. You lyrically made them into complete art. 

Another thing I admirer about you is your success. Your married to, debatably, one of the prettiest punk rock divas in Hollywood. You have your own clothing line, and you appear all over the place. Pretty much, your name is widely known and that's only something people dream about. I feel like your a good guy, fun guy. I'd love to spend a day with you, get to find out what your about, what makes you tick. I want to know if you think I have the potential of making it. 

"I found a cure to growing older

Douse yourself in cheap perfume it's
So fitting, so fitting of the way you are
You can't cover it up
Can't cover it up"

-Wentz

People call you gay, I call you a genius. Do I think you made some bad decisions musically? Yeah, I think Fall Out Boy took a heavy left turn for the worst. I know Fall Out Boy broke up but I really hope you turn around and start making some good music again. Let me hear you scream again, it ain't bad. 

Just another writer that wishes he was in your shoes,

Cam

But for tonight, goodnight.
