what if a friend got a copy of the new Madonna single before it was released, and I told him I'd listen to it as soon as the Panic song that was playing ended?
what if a couple of weeks after the RRHoF ceremony it re-aired on VH1 and I still didn't see it?
well, those aren't really "what ifs", but my current reality. yes, Panic at the Disco has captured me in a way that I haven't been captured since, well, since Madonna started splitting my attention from Prince in 1990. it's been soooo long, but I must say the ride is AMAZING.
I have much more to say about them and the brilliance of Pretty. Odd., but for shorthand, dig if u will this picture: take psychedelic-era Beatles (very Across the Universe-ish), add some Around the World in a Day/Parade era Prince (i.e. Revolution, i.e. Wendy & Lisa influence), a dose of Stephen Sondheim and just a dash of (no, not formaldehyde!) Rent, e viola:
