Yall. I remember when I made up a theory that aging alt bands like Weezer & Death Cabs turn into Cool Dads. Then I saw a picture of Morrisonney, the lead singer of the Smiths Band.
Do yall think this is the picture which verifies the Cool Dad Theory?
Or is it just another example of the emerging trend of human accessories.

I’m afraid of growing old.
I’m afraid of my hair turning grey.
I’m afraid of losing my hair.
I’m afraid of turning into a cool dad.
I’m afraid of being a self-aware cool dad who knows he isn’t cool.
I’m afraid of my son/daughter eventually being ‘cooler than me’ when I am 54.
I’m afraid of having to ‘raise a child.’
I’m afraid of my first divorce.
I’m afraid of feeling pressure to hold down a job for more than 7.5 months.
I’m afraid of having to give away my tattered Am Appy shirts to ‘the poor’ in 2k__.
/// This is a post about coping with age.
Should I start listening 2 the Smiths after the electrobubble bursts?
Did u go through a ‘Smiths era’ or is that 4 old ppl?
Should I put the Smiths on my ‘top albums of 2k8′ list?

how do you explain a sexual? he’s gay. i’m glad he tours as much as he does.

Swear to god….when I first heard the smiths I hated them….but then, after I read the lyrics, I felt like I wasn’t the only one that felt that way. Kinda like the first time I heard that song “All About Da Nookie” by The Limp Bizkitz.
Top 3 Smiths songs:
1.) Girl Afraid
2.) Heaven Knows I’m Miserable Now
3.) Sheila Take a Bow
What are yall’s favorite smiths songs?

the morrissey’s band totes rocked man (not 2 b confused with the morrison’s band fronted by jim, which also totes rocked but is a diff story)
altho the frontman leader guy should of stopped working on his solo career years ago.
this goes to show even being a primadonna egotistic once-awesome-rock-band-frontman is not ’nuff to automatically grant you a ‘cool dad’ label

can’t fuck with the moz.
