I can't believe people take this Daniel Johns thing so seriously. It's just a song, people. The best thing about the song isn't even the Silverchair goof, it's the weird slow part- that's the coolest thing this band has ever done, except maybe the Driver's Death song, but really the slow part is better b/c crystal meth references are so dated and played out. And all you idiots who get offended, you know, all this bitching you've done has only stirred this controversy and that has helped them sell this single. If anyone should be upset with this band it's not Silverchair fans, it's NOFX- they should be upset about the relentless ripping off of their sound by YSIB and 1/2 the other bands out there. Or perhaps more embarrassingly for YSIB, maybe it's Blink 182 and Green Day who should be upset for the same reason.
