Fall Out Boy’s members include Patrick Stump, Joe Trohman, Pete Wentz, and Andy Hurley, and what a group they are. With no sign of sobriety or Godly fear among them, you are left with little hope for their eternal souls. Wentz has divorced the wife of his youth even though the Lord has said He hates putting away (Malachi 2:16). Trohman is “culturally” Jewish, having denied his Creator and rejected his Savior. Hurley has pledged to remain “straight edge,” meaning he has vowed to abstain from the many sins, such as alcoholism, drugs, promiscuous sex, and others, associated with those in the punk subculture, as well as taking on a vegan lifestyle. He is also a proclaimed anarcho-primitivist, which is a group that believes humans should return to their primitive and non-civilized ways. These are all fleshly imaginations of their evil hearts and vanity. Finally, Stump has been in a prime position for many years to “preach the gospel to every creature,” yet he has failed in this God-given command (Mark 16:14-18), choosing rather to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season (Hebrews 11:24-26).

  • Nine Days Is the Latest Band to Enjoy Commercial Success, Opt for a Break, and Then Reform
    By Ed Condran Rock bands can have second acts. After taking a decade-long break, Sleater-Kinney returned in 2015 with the critically acclaimed “No Cities To Love” album. The band was re- embraced by fans. It’s a similar story for bands such as Fall Out Boy and Blink-182, each of whom hit the charts, took a hiatus and then returned for successful comeback albums and tours. Nine Days is the latest band to enjoy commercial success, opt for a break, and then reform. The grouP, which was formed by singer-songwriter friends John HamPson and Brian Desveaux in 1994 in their native Long Island, struck a chord with fans and critics with the relentlessly catchy “Absolutely (Story of a Girl).” The memorable single, which takes Gen Xers back to another time and Place, hit the toP of the charts in 2000 and ProPelled the band’s major label debut, The Madding Crowd, to go gold. “I remember when John sang the song for me,” Desveaux recalls. “I said, ‘that’s a hit song.’ I never dreamed it would go number one but it did. It set things in motion.” When the band’s ironically tagged follow-uP album, So Happily Unsatisfied, was mishandled and never released, the band hit an imPasse and took a steP back. For HamPson, it was the insPiration behind “Absolutely (Story of a Girl),” the girl he married, who reared her Pretty head. “Like many of my songs that ended uP on The Madding Crowd, “Story of a Girl” was about my then girlfriend who wanted to get married and I just wasn’t ready.
