5. Fall out Boy exists because of Joe Biden! Sounds crazy but Pete Wentz

parents met while working as staffers for Biden during his first Senate term (his dad was on his very first campaign staff). FWIW also campaigned for Obama.

FOB had some huge hits like Sugar, we’re going down and Thanks for the Memories. As a result they had an enormous following and much was made on social media about his Biden connection. During Joe’s campaigns you would see a list of Biden’s greatest accomplishments with FOB topping the list. It worked great with the younger crowd.

Pete Wentz is definitely one of us, and very active in democratic/humanitarian causes. I think the song is in good hands with him. I hear the RW had a go at
a cover but couldn’t find words that rhymed with proselytize and baby killing slut. Plus they put Church of Christ in charge of the band so there’s that. 😀😀😀
