Patrick Stump Update

Posted by: Joe DeAndrea (05/20/12)
Patrick Stump has written an update on his website.
From the BlogSo. The last time I blogged I apparently accidentally quit music. I can only imagine I must be poor at expressing myself considering how easily people misunderstood me. Somewhere around the time my mom called me to check if I were okay I figured I was in way over my head/totally sucked at venting. This time I’ll try to be brief and see how that works:

1) I won’t ever quit music, I just may not release some of my own for a little bit.

2) Sometimes I’m just taken aback at how cruel people can be because deep down I’m just some naive/affable suburban middle American wuss.

3) I’m very grateful to all the people who support(ed) Folie A Deux and Soul Punk.

4) I felt I owed it to those people to let them know I wouldn’t be able to tour as much as I (and hopefully they) had wanted.

5) I guess I got carried away with the sarcasm and hyperbole in trying to say that.

I’m not depressed. I’m super embarrassed/humbled by all the compliments/heartfelt support I’ve gotten in response to my blog. No worries: Things are rad by me. I’m still writing and working with other musicians. Really focusing on being more of a co-writer than a producer. The best stuff is when I feel like I’ve sort of tricked the other writer into writing a really good song on their own. It’s really rewarding to watch somebody inspire themselves.

I’m kind of amassing non-musical hobbies for the first time in my life: Collecting Silver Age X-men, learning how to taste whisk(e)y like some sophisticate (started with mostly Irish but learning a lot about Scotch, some good Japanese ones, and a bit of Bourbon…BTW drink responsibly or something), and taking acting classes (note that the latter is in the hobby category of my life…I don’t expect much more from it than to have some fun and holy smokes I am).

-p.stump

P.S. Dear Cracked.com: Sorry I threw you under the bus…I meant I’m cool with being teased by people who elevate it to an art form…was far more honored than offended.

Just as long as he's doing whatever makes him happy, that's cool with me. It was awesome seeing in that House episode a few weeks back. If he's looking to get into acting, that's pretty cool.

And for the record, I was a big fan of Folie A Deux.

What a good guy. As long as he's enjoying himself and happy, I'm happy. Though whatever music (or anything really) comes from him, I will be more than happy to accept.

Folie A Deux was FOB's best album in my opinion. Hope I'm not the only one. Only criticism is that that album really needed to end with What A Catch.

Folie à Deux is probably one of my favorite albums of all time. For the longest time I would say "only Take This to Your Grave is good!" but after listening to the rest I was blown away. It's a shame I didn't give them a chance when they were together, and hopefully I'll be able to see Fall Out Boy live one day.

I still love you Patrick... and I'll admit, I hated FoD when it came out but over the past 9 months it's grown immensely on me, I love it. Also, still grateful for you taking the time to talk to me and my wife after the Scottsdale show late last year for a couple minutes. Never forget that...
