I am an all American reject, just another tragically hip offspring
with bright eyes and a smile empty soul. I once thought that I was Jane's addiction but my chemical romance was just a placebo, and now I am Jack's broken heart.
My senses fail me, and I have caused a fine frenzy. This panic at the disco will be the story of the year. The black light burns, and soon they'll all be in flames. From first to last I will rise against them and be avenged sevenfold.

Stellar!
Hadn't read your stuff in a long while, so thought I'd drop by. And I get treated... yes I said Treated... to this wonderful non-traditional piece.
For a country music version of this type of exercise, check out Clint Black's "Tuckered Out". I may even have the lyrics saved somewhere.
Anyway, thanks for a fun read. But... how in heaven's name did you make it work?
Write On!

Nice :)
This piece reads like a narrative (which I enjoy) while avoiding merely listing band names. To be honest, I did not even notice the band names until I read the second version! Which was mildly embarrassing because I know those bands... but I digress!
The main point is, Nice Work!
