My good friend's aunt Edie married him.
Edie is cool as hell and always invited us backstage, and is super friendly-always put us on the guest list and gave me signed memorabilia and shit: I mean, she KNEW it would be exciting for us, and we didn't have to ASK. Uncle Paul, on the other hand, thought he was WAY too good for his nephew and his nephew's little friends, and goes to great lengths to avoid not only his nephew's close friends, but his nephew HIMSELF, too. He wouldn't even give his nephew a plus one on the guest list for shows. The dude is arrogant and stingy to the point where it's fucking hilarious.
I wanted so bad to tell him "motherfucker you're LUCKY we even know who you are. And you KIND of suck."
But I didn't.
MOST of his music is stupidly overrated, which makes the whole thing funnier.
