Oh Ted.

Reasons Why Ted Leo is Awesome:
1. He loves his band.
2. His band loves him.
3. He sings encores in Irish.
4. He sweats profusely from sheer rocking out.
5. When his guitar strap falls off, it doesn't faze Ted Leo, it just makes him rock out harder.
6. His amp chord is pink and springy. I think it is to keep him from rocking out way to hard which would lead to Ted Leo combusting and blowing up the world.
7. He plays shows in old train stations.
8. His mouth is so big he could smoke 100 cigarettes at the same time.
9. His pants don't meet his shoes.
10. His pants have pink paint on them. Also, his shoes are quite possibly the same colour as the pink paint. Interesting.

Funny Things Ted Leo Said And Did Last Night:

*Fan picks up set list and sets it back down.*
Ted Leo: Hey, wow! That's a private message. What if it had like... my social security number on it? You would have so much leverage over me.
Different Fan: At least it's not your passport number!
Ted Leo: No, no. My social security number is much more important! She'd know all of my financials. Although, I'll tell you straight up, there's not much going on.

Fan: Anal sex!

Ted Leo: I don't even know what to say. I was going to go on a rant about taxes, but now I just have a boner.

*Fan yells Ted Leo's home town and claims to be from there, then hands him a pornographic newspaper.*

Ted Leo: What's this here. Oh! It's a naked lady all done up. Geez. What's this, "Where's the coke at?"

Fan: It's Lindsay Lohan!

Ted Leo: Oh I get it! Because she does cocaine. Funny. You know, usually when we play a show in Dublin, we like playing for, you know, Irish people.

*Fan gasps.*

Ted Leo: Don't get me wrong or anything, we just don't like Lindsay Lohan following us around.
