Hopelessly Devoted

jcasrockwall2.jpg

Yesterday was Jason Castro Day in his hometown of Rockwall, Texas. One of the former American Idol contestant's fans gave an eyewitness account of the day's shenanigans, including this lovely sentence that sums up Jason's entire life from here on out: "There were literally THOUSANDS and THOUSANDS of screaming, hysterical fans. It was insanity. I saw a girl burst into tears because she brushed his arm. … Jason looked mortified."

The best story from the day came at the end, when the Dread Heads were at their bravest: "[Jason] opens the [SUV] window to wave goodbye, at which point a woman tries to shove her puppy into his car (I dont know if she wanted him to have it?) which she has dressed in dreadlocks and a cap. Jason closes his window."

I can't believe some lady was crazy enough to put dreadlocks on her poor innocent puppy. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go remove the Rastafarian hat from my cat's head.

    I would love to see a smackdown between the Claymates and Dread Heads to see who has the more psycho fan base.

    Nobody but Lenny Kravits should wear dreads. Everyone else looks homeless. Plus, dreads are smelly as hell, they absorb all the patchuli in the room.

    Lisa, so closed-minded. Bet you'd melt into a puddle if a handsome dude like Jason even gave you the time of day. I wouldn't say the Dreadhead's are psycho…we're just VERY passionate. We know a good thing when we hear it.

    Its fun to be a little crazy sometimes and who cares if Dreadheads are a little wacky? It makes life more interesting to be gung-ho! Jason definitely has a spell over women, young and old..ahhh, he is beautiful and very, very clean. I just know it.

    Yes, Jason Castro has cast a spell over many of us and we are all much happier and thankful for it. We listen to his music ALL the time, read everything we can find about him, talk with other Dreadheads about him, and we will support him for as long as he wants us to. We love him!

    And by the way, I LOVE Jason's dreads! They're perfect for him, but if he ever decided to cut them, I'd still love him just the same. He'll always be my favorite artist ever.

    Fun article. Jason's music makes me happy, it makes me feel good. The fans flipping out, I can see it, but I wasn't there so I don't know if I would do it.

    I do know I would not put my puppy at risk in a probably power window. I do love my dog most!

    wait, people think dreadlocks smell bad? but they don't! not even on my homeless friends, much less my hygiene obsessed, dead-lovin friends. totally a myth, it has to be. i've never even heard that anyone thought that. i've heard the 'ew, there's probably bugs in there' one, but never about stink. weird. i musta had my head buried in a bong this whole time …

    i'm sure jason castro would approve greatly of you posting on the internets snarky comments directed towards people you've never met, hanna and lisabeth.

    what in the w? you "dreadhead's" sound off your collective rockers.

    Close-minded? Per Henigo Mantoya, I do not think that means what you think it means? Unless you are being a complete hypocrite (and also close-minded) and assuming a JOKE about some dude with dreads indicates a lack of acceptance of those with dreads. Or "otherness" in all its manifestations. (And here is where I point out that rejection of one is not necessarily rejection of a whole class) Because, considering you know jack and shit about me, it displays a schocking amount of projection on your part. AND rejection of my "otherness" in the respect that I don't agree with you on the possible smelliness of the above's dreads. Bad pseudo-hippy or actualized people-acceptor (whichever you are masquarading as)! Bad!

    But you know, continue to use "passion" as an excuse for the lack of a sense of humor.

    p.s. I'm a lesbian. But thanks for tacitly rejecting my otherness by assuming the status quo.

    Stopthemadness..now what's up with you saying we are "off our rockers"? Is THAT a very nice thing to say? Now don't reply back with some smart comment, because I really don't care or take offense -I just thought it was funny that you were calling people on not being nice, then you did the same thing! Oh, Jason..see what you've done? People getting riled up all over the place. Jason could have any hairstyle and girls would be crazy for him just the same. He's just plain gorgeous and that's all there is to it. Not to mention he can sing, play all kinds of instruments and eats lunch with his grandmother everyday! You just can't get any better than that.

    In a hundred thousand years an alien race will find this. They will become fearful. They will take note of the poor quality of thoughts and our lack of clear communication to reflect on thier own society. Maybe they will be able to save thier own world from death via on-line forums. Jason is a good guy and the dreadheads may be a bit zany but they are by and large the nicest people you will ever meet.

    dashing, your point is 50% well taken.

    my first point about snarkiness to people on the internets should have been directed solely towards hannah. (now that i reread the comments, lisabeth's post wasn't snarky, so i will take that part back and make my apologies to lisabeth.)

    as for the "off your rockers comment" if you'll reread my comment, i didn't say that you dreadheads "are" off your rockers, i said that you "sound" off your rockers. i actually meant to say that y'all sound *like* you're off your rockers, but the jagermeister i was drinking last night got the best of me.

    having said that, i absolutely should have said that *some* of you dreadheads sound *like* you're off your rockers, because, sweet sugary jesus… some of y'all do.

    so to answer your question, my statement was neither nice nor not nice, but rather an expression of my perception of the comments on this thread.

    moreover, your statement that i was "calling out people for not being nice" is incorrect. i was calling out a particular person about making pointed personal comments about another commenter who made a joke related to the very real possibility that jason castro might have stank ass hair.

    i doubt this comment qualifies as smart. i'll let you be the judge.

    while i certainly do not consider myself a dreadhead, i actually like jason castro.

    let's be friends,

    stopthemadness
