To be honest, I really liked the Plain White T's when they weren't as famous ... if they're famous now, anyway... for one song. They played at The Fillmore back in '04, and I thought they were pretty awesome and nice because they were walking around signing stuff and talking to people (BIG deal for me back then. BIG.). I'd probably be more excited for them if "Hey There Delilah" wasn't an old song of theirs. Back then they were a supporting act (for Simple Plan), and for some reason, they still are. And I hate, hate, haaaaaaaaaaaate when a song gets to that point where it's apparent the crowd knows the lyrics and think singing aloud makes it better. It doesn't! This is never a good thing. It's still a good song, but I like to take it in small doses.

I have to laugh at the idea of going to a Fall Out Boy concert and complaining about teenagers. Angrybat: It would seem that it's not only the kids who like it.

I wouldn't spend any energy worrying about Grammy nominations or winners. The Grammys have had no relevance to what's actually happening in music since maybe the early 70's, if even then. They're a complete joke. Do you really think the Dixie Chicks had the best album and song of the year last year? That being said, I can see why that Plain White Ts song was a big hit. Like you said, catchy and repetitive. That's what the kids like.
