So, a lot of bands/songs I like deal with angst-ridden males penning their feelings against their ex-girlfriends they were wronged by - in fact, as I found out in Kenny Vasoli's case (formerly of The Starting Line, now of Person L) he wrote a whole album about one girl and the not-so-nice things she did to him. More specifically, he flew out to Seattle on his birthday weekend to be with her and arrived to find her pregnant with her ex-boyfriend's child. All this was unbeknown to him and he spent his birthday and the rest of the weekend in a motel. Now that's a pretty good story.
And it made me wonder about these other artists who I enjoy. What are the stories behind Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine's relationship with Jane which caused him to name an album after her? And what were some of the best deceptions pulled against Chris Carrabba of Dashboard Confessional? I would be so interested to hear these stories and better understand why a girl would lead one to write harsh, unforgiving lyrics like "I'll be your friend in hell, until then I despise you."
