My friend and I were talking about how all these bands are all huge now, and how theyre all into themselves. I made the notation that, when i met Chris over a year ago, before he was huge, he still had a body guard. We made the joke of "maybe if we touch him, he doesnt exist" or something, seeing he really doesnt NEED a bodyguard.

Then that got us thinking. Before the radio loved him, his manager was like "I think you should have a band for your songs", and Chris stayed with his "dont fix it if its not broken" cliche and preferred acoustic. With this, they tied Chris up, and he's currently hiding somewhere. The Chris Carrabba we see today is a hollogram. The reason he is hidden behind a band, and protected by guards, is because... he doesn't exist. Well he exists, but he is tied up somewhere, we're guessing in the Vagrant studios. They keep him there because without social interaction, he is very bitter and angsty = good, emo music. And... that didnt make sense. ugh.

Because of my lack of creativity and my moods that randomly hate Dashboard, this hasnt been updated lately. Stumbling across it again, I thought "Gee Golly Whiz, lets update it"

Song: Age Six Racer.

Only the "hardcore" Dashboard fans know thats the songs real name. I didn't even know this until I was looking for the lyrics of "So Long Sweet Summer" when I came to the realization that in fact it is not "So Long Sweet Summer", but "Age Six Racer". So you think, what does "Age Six Racer" have to do with his summer? Quite simple. Kindergarten you're generally 5 years old, while first grade you're 6. Though Mr. C didn't specifically TEACH kindergarten, we are setting it as the general standard for this song. With that said, the actual lyrics of the song have absolutely nothing to do with the aging of his students. Or does it? As some teachers/students do, they mostly wish success to their classmates/students and hope they do well. This song is like one big year book entry. I wouldn't be suprised if the end originally had "Youre cool, never change K.I.T. blah blah blah" attached. This entry is rather tangent filled I just realized. Meaning this song could be interpreted in a plethora of ways with the same overall theme. However, its backwards because instead of him departing his students and leaving them, he is reuniting at the end of the summer and awaiting the new ones. Maybe when i'm more awake, I'll try to get that to make sense.

How Mr. C became known as "campfire punk" to all teeny magazines.

Mr. C needed a summer activity back in the day, so he got signed up for band camp. Without elaboration on this, he really wasn't motivated to play the trumpet and take part in a sexual ska band. The "skanking" thing just wasnt working for him. Nonetheless, Chris got kicked out of band camp.

HIs mother, still thinking he needed social interactions so he doesnt turn out like my antisocial computer hugging brother, signed him up for girl scouts...err.. I mean boy scouts. He went camping and while all the other boys were making fires, he stole an acoustic guitar and started strumming. After ahwile, a bunch of prepubescent boys were swaying their hands humming the melody that Chris had obtained.

And that, is how Chris became known as "campfire punk"
