Why is Pete Wentz so popular? I thought bassists weren’t supposed to be ‘rock stars.’
It’s pretty weird. The only other one is Sting, but he was a singer. But, I don’t really know. He’s such an outspoken person, and he has so much to say, and his mind is running at a million miles per hour at all times with crazy ideas, you know. He’s just a total artist and has got so much to say. The rest of us are quieter. Patrick, I don’t think anyone expected to be a front-man. He played drums at first, and I think it was kind of a surprise when we heard his voice. But Pete’s definitely a mouth-piece… I don’t think he was going out looking for it, but the tabloids kind of fixated on him because, you know, they just do that.
