That popular Chad played in a shit rock band and I'm glad he went nowhere and became a wifebeating car salesman
There was this girl in high school--I knew her from musicals--and after high school she formed an indie band with some other people, and they're actually good. They're not big or anything but they've been gaining attention. They opened for The New Pornographers once.

Sat sort of at the same table as Dylan Baldi at lunch senior year with two friends. Sat by himself and always had earbuds in so we only talked a few times. He seemed like a big loner.
