White officer: "Sir, we had a report of a break in. Is this your house?"
Henry Gates Jr: "RACIST! THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS TO BLACK MEN IN AMERICA, DAMMIT! YOU THINK A BLACK MAN LIKE ME COULD NEVER LIVE IN A NICE HOME LIKE THIS?"
Officer: "No, sir, really, we had a call from your neighbor about a break-in. I just need to see some ID so that I know who you are and if this is really your house"
HGJ: "WHAT? DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM, PUBIC SERVANT? YOU PROBABLY MAKE LESS THAN 1% OF WHAT I DO AND IT BOTHERS YOU BECAUSE I'M BLACK, DOESN'T IT?!?"
Officer: "There's no need to shout, and this is not about race. This can be resolved if you just show me your ID..."
HGJ: "THAT IS SUCH TYPICAL WHITE BULLS**T. OF COURSE IT'S ABOUT RACE! YOU'RE JUST SO DAMN INSENSITIVE YOU CAN"T SEE IT! LISTEN, WHITEY, I AM NOT JUST A POWERFUL MAN AT HARVARD, I KNOW THE PRESIDENT, DAMMIT. IN CASE YOU HAVEN'T NOTICED, HE'S BLACK TOO! ARE YOU GETTING THE PICTURE NOW?"

Officer: "Fine, here's the same ID I showed you after I first knocked. Sir, if someone were breaking into your house and pretending to be you, I'm sure you would want me to verify their identity rather than take their word for it and let them loot your house, right?"
HGJ: "YOU DARE THINK THAT YOU CAN USE LOGIC ON ME? I AM A POWERFUL MAN AT HARVARD. H-A-R-V-A-R-D, DAMMIT! WHERE DID YOU GO TO SCHOOL? OH, HA, THAT'S RIGHT, YOU PROBABLY DIDN'T!

Gatsbys American Dream (there is no apostrophe) is the sliver of hope amongst a world of shitty, generic, thoughtless, pop punk shit.
The band has their roots in indie, pop punk, and folk, but incorporates several other genres including metal and post-hardcore.
Each member of the band has made a risky move by learning the ancient arts of music making:
The singer's lyrics are poetic, metaphorical, and instead of singing about ex-girlfriends, he sings about events in literature, therefore forcing the listener to use his or her brain.
The guitars (Mainly Bobby) have looked into the past and learned what we once called "guitar chords", in oppose to the modern "power chord". Bobby often uses minor chords, bar chords, and sevenths.
The bassist read an encyclopedia and learned that bass is short for bass GUITAR, and actually plays it like one, instead of constantly playing rythm.
"When Vin Diesel invented the drums, he appointed Rudy Gajadhar as the overseer to the instrument. You can't top his skillz." Unlike all drummers in modern music, the drummer has developed his skills to keep rythm, and stand out at the same time, like God intended.
I haven't heard enough of the keys, but it's not often someone makes a ringing organ sound good.
The bands only shortcoming is that, after their debut album, the went hysterical and decided NOT to use the mind-numbing chorus-verse-chorus song structure in EVERY SONG, making the band unbelievably better, but sadly, angering the mighty money thirsty record labels.
If you like talent, and lots of it. Give any CD by this band a listen.
If you like Green Day and think power chords are always good, I highly recomend you stay away, this might scare you.
Members:
Nic Newsham- Sings and writes
Bobby Darling- Plays beast guitar and sings
Kirk Huffman- Plays bass guitar and sings
Kyle O'Quin- Plays keys in the last album
Rudy Gajadhar- Drums like a god
Ryan Van W*$(&*- PLayed the guitar in the first to albums, and sings some of Badlands on the CD Volcano
Dustin- Drums in the first CD, although he ain't no Rudy, he is magnificent.

Get the Child Gapist mug.the staff calls our school diverse, they pride themselves off the fact that we strive for equality and fairness. with a school that's "melting pot" is 97% white this is already hard to believe. Stepping into the school you feel welcomed and embraced, as long as you are white, christian, rich, and a male. Anyone who steps even slightly outside of this category is judged. With rape accusations higher than ANY other school in the district is this really a surprise? Their policy for handling situations like sexual assault was to avoid said person because they "have such a bright future". I didn't know a school could possibly make people feel so unheard. White kids dressed in expensive brands just because they can, flaunting around their superiority complexes and saying the n-word along with other racist and homophobic slurs. yikes. Some aspects of the school are great but the school itself is the definition of performative activism. On the outside they preach equality and friendship but when it gets down to it they could not care less. When you have more than one seminar and announcement warning the use of slurs yet not enforcing that sentiment in person it really makes you wonder. Any form of activism done has been to increase social capital. This is proved by the school doing close to nothing about rape culture until dozens of girls started to speak out on social media so to save face they started making statements and enforcing what should have been happening for years.
Remember when Los Gatos High School was on the news multiple times for being racist and even for blackface! What a stand up bunch of kids I bet they learned their lesson and the school punished them! Oh.. they were just given a warning and the school said they would try to teach a less whitewashed history and, "taking steps to better educate students"? Great...
