Bowling For Soup Quotes & Trivia



Quotes

Jaret: The stupidest things I ever did in my life: Once my brother took the blame for dropping a jar of jam onto a cake my mother had made for a party, when, after all, it was me that ruined the cake. My mom was pretty bent out of shape, but I thought my brother to be such a hero. 10 minutes later, my brother pissed me off and to get even with him, I went and admitted that I had ruined my mothers prized dessert. It took me a few days to realize what a dumb ass I was, but I eventually figured it out and swore to always blame everything on someone else, whenever I get the chance.

LET'S DO IT FOR JOHNNY The 13-song album that took its name from the Francis Ford Coppola flick, The Outsiders and was the culmination of years of touring in an '82 Dodge, and show-stealing at gigs with bands as diverse as Blink 182, Sammy Hagar, POE, C & C Music Factory, Agent ORANGE, and many others . Several Let's Do It For Johnny tracks, such as "Belgium," "Scope" and "The B**ch Song" (remixed by Matt Wallace of Everlast and Faith No More fame), were re-done from previous BFS albums including Tell Me When to Whoa! and Rock On Honorable Ones. Others, like "Pictures He Drew," which lyrically tackles a painful true story, “Hang On”, and “All Figured Out” were brand-new compositions. In fact, I was rushing to write as many new songs as I could two days before we started recording, fearing we would be regurgitating songs on the fans in Texas that had been with us for so many years…And of course, "Summer of '69" is a creative cover of the hit written by Canadian treasure turned Englishman Bryan Adams.

Here are a few things I hate... • Guys, even bald guys, that don't use shampoo. For some reason that pisses me off. • People that cross their arms, but without crossing them. They just fold one OVER the other. One hand grabs a rib, the other, an elbow. If you have ever done this in a photo, I hope you are happy with yourself. • Guys who say bro AND dude. I think a choice needs to be made here. • Drunk people when I am sober. • Tall guys on the front row of anything, unless I am not paying attention to what it is they are watching. • Short girls BEHIND tall guys that complain about not being able to see, instead of moving to a less vertically challenged spot. • Door guys in las angela's california. • People that work in the food industry, but think they are meteorologists. • People who climb things for no reason. • Waiters that sit down at the table with you while taking your order. • People in their mid twenties that still hate someone they haven't seen since high school. • Dentists. • Hemorrhoids. • Cars that look like shoes. • Drivers that shift lanes more than their quota, which is basically based on my feelings at that particular moment. • The fact that french fries are so bad for us, but are served with, and go well with, fucking everything. • Mice...even that little Mickey.....I hate mice....Stuart Little is cool, but I think just cause he doesn't act like an asshole to the cat.....oh and he sounds like michael j fox when he talks...... • coffee.... • Basketballs that don't quite have enough air to bounce right, but do have enough to look inviting to those who like to bounce balls.... • People that speak their mind.....I really think we should keep more bottled up as a society....
