except for that kevin bacon comparison. but it's forgiveable!
Thanks!

I didn't make the Kevin Bacon comparison, though. It's never occurred to me. And the Sara Gilbert comparison totally cracks me up. It never occurred to me until several women on here mentioned it. Unfortunately, I could immediately see what they meant. Talk about a buzz kill!

As far as the Kevin Bacon comparison goes, when I saw him at the concert I went to, I thought to myself, "He looks kinda like Kevin Bacon." But then later that week when me and my friend were playing six degrees and I looked up Kevin Bacon's IMDb profile and saw his picture I was like, "ew, no, they do not look alike!"

Speaking of which...

Dave Pirner had a cameo appearance in Reality Bites which starred his girlfriend Winona Ryder who was in The Ten with Oliver Platt who was in Loverboy with Kevin Bacon.

I felt dumb when I started the Annoying New Girl thing. I still think it's a bit stupid, and it's totally off topic. I think it went from talking about how I'm not actually that annoying to how I despise the piano. I felt I shouldn't have submitted it, either. Thanks, by the way, for being the first to respond to it.

ok- i was just noticing how "worn in" looking their clothes and shoes look in an old picture, and was remembered from this thread that interview where they're saying why they'd rather wear their old jeans etc...
ok so those old pictures are old - they can't possibly be the SAME pair of jeans now (i hope)- so at some point they have to get new ones - how do they get them to look so 'comfortable' unless they wear the new ones for awhile... hmmm it's a mystery!!!

You're welcome. And it's not stupid, Nicole. Look how many people have responded to it. And you gave some of the younger fans a chance to share their experiences of feeling out of place sometimes. (We older fans had already done that in the discussion about the Just Like Anyone video.) You absolutely should have submitted it. And I'm about to go respond to something you wrote in it earlier.

Not exactly my intention, but it seems to work, so who cares?
This is the thread that got me to sign up, too. Not because I wanted to discuss Dave's jeans, which I obviously don't, but because it was a bit hilarious and you weren't afraid to say what you thought. I still felt a bit stupid signing up seeing as the only other person my age on this site stopped coming on, though I feel a little bit better now. I'm still bad in crowds,though, even ones that I can't even see.

This has nothing to do with Dave's jeans or any aspect of Dave whatsoever, but yes, that chat. If you noticed, I didn't say much even though I do know some lyrics to Loser(ok, I only know soy un perdedor, I'm a loser baby, so why don't you kill me). I wanted to jump in and say that my taco buddy(we're going to be the Ben&Jerry's of tacos!) wants to be an Aerospace engineer when she's older and say some other stuff, but crowds are yet another thing that scare me, and though I have been posting on this site a lot(for me at least), it's not my usual behavior. Sorry for bringing this into a conversation about Dave!
