Paramore being better at it than both didn't take them 40 years

Because Paramore rules, is why.

The time I saw them was at Bonnaroo, and it was the day that news broke about Anthony Bourdain's death. At one point during a breather between two songs, Hayley Williams sat down on the edge of the stage and talked about it and how much she loved Bourdain and how hard mental illness is and gave a sort of pep talk to anyone suffering (pretty sure she included the suicide hotline number). It was really affecting, the whole field of people got quiet and paid attention, and it was just striking the ability she had to talk directly and pull people in just sitting there talking. And then they went back to rocking.

three weeks pass...

If Taylor doesn't write a song called "The Bechtel Test" where she has a coffee with Gabriette and they don't refer to Healy once, she will have let me down, she will have let the community down, and most importantly she will have let herself down.
