cause I'm Sara

there is a song called "creeping out sara" that a band NOFX wrote

and the song, um...

you know, on a surface level, i found it kind of offensive because the

implication was that tegan and i are incestuous which i find deeply deeply

horrifying

and disrespectful but

the truth is that the conversation that he's describing in the song actually

happened.

he did creep me out and he and i had a long conversation backstage at a festival in germany

and um, not a

totally a consensual conversation. he kind of came

came up to me at an internet cafe backstage at a festival and i was

with a friend and we were doing, you know, whatever, and

he just told us all about his

he told us all about himself and mostly it had to do with sex, and um, and involved

interest in the BDSM community and having a sex dungeon

and

haha yeah

she said sex dungeon

just doing my emails and just had to listen to him talk while

while also swigging from a red wine bottle, but anyway

it was cute

it was cute how he was like that but

i mean the song is - i mean how do i feel about it, i mean, i think he's

he's pretty offensive but he's also, he's fat mike. that's how he is.

that's sort of his MO

uh...

i don't know what else to say about it. i don't want to fight him or anything

i think he understood that we didn't totally love the track

afterwards i did talk with him a little bit. he was still on tour when it came out and

everybody was like, NOFX dissing tegan and sara! and he was horrified

he and i talked about it

quite a bit and he released a statement

we love you guys

we are huge fans. the whole sentiment of the song is supposed to be making fun of myself

i'm disgusting. i'm gross.

and um

we talked a lot about the

fact that people of course were gonna miss that point and instead focus on the

incest

part and the dildo part and the gay part

all the rest of it, and you know, he wrote a statement, so

i used to listen to NOFX. it was really hard for me, because i was like, NOFX is awesome! so.. not anymore.
