Tim Armstrong Isnt Who You Think He Is



I was talking to an online friend of mine and our conversation and exchange of ideas gave me the thought of a blog I should wright. Its about When Tim Armstrong said Good Charlotte was the next 'Super Band'. I'm not going to get into what he said or whether or not he ever actually said it. The bigger picture in this is about personal opinion and how it affects all our reputations. Peoples character are heavily based and judged on there views and opinions on anything and everything. From there choice on politics to there shoe brand. You can and most likely will be judged on anything. But I believe you cant judge too heavily on characteristics when it comes to music artists.

I love Tim Armstrong's music but I don't judge him as a person, but as a song writer/vocalist. I doubt you will ever find an artist or person you agree with on everything. You are only setting yourself up for disappointment when you love a band then expect that the band members will have all your same opinions. Just about everyone does it too. You have to remember that these are individuals with there own minds. They don't love all the bands you do and they don't support everything you do either. I couldn't care less about what Tim Armstrong says is 'punk' or what his views are. If you listen to a band/artist and you do have similar minds then its just a bonus in my eyes. Icing on the fucking cake.

If Tim Armstrong got caught wearing a preppy shirt I bet almost all punks who like him would freak the fuck out. I would strongly be against it but its a personal choice, just don't sing about being poor because then your a fucking liar. Tim has helped out more than enough struggling punks with Hellcat records to get my respect. I love the music I love, and its my choice and if you don't like it then too bad, don't listen to it. Tim probably feels the same way.
