And I thought that it would get a lot of attention because of that. And then that show was like a massive... epic fail... and every time his name gets mentioned now they talk about that show. There's even a joke. Why did Collingwood lose? Because Meat ate all the Pies (the Aussies here will definitely understand it.) And I don't even know how the album's doing. Apparently it made the charts. But I don't know what's happened since. I don't know if it's catching on or it's sunk without a trace. I don't know. We'll just have to see what happens once it's released worldwide. I honestly want to see it do well. | |
