I surprised you like The Used that much… I haven’t listened to them since I was in college… Remember when Burt was dating Kelly Osborne? That was a ridiculous media mess. Still, it seems like forever ago.
Not too much of a fan anymore…I still listen to their older stuff every once in a while. Still, they draw good crowds most places they go and Croc is small, so tickets will probably go fast.
