Terry Doesn't Suffer Fools
Terry Crews is a cool guy. I never understood the appeal of autographs. I get it famous people should expect extra attention and recognition from the public and fans because of their fame. That being said as a member of the public and fan, I could not bring myself to disturb someone I didn’t know. Many celebrities do signings or will send you one upon request. No need to barge in and mess with someone’s time with family and friends.

Fan Lies About Being Xbox Friends With A Band, Band Immediately Disproves Them
I'm pretty picky with music and don't tend to listen to certain bands, just individual songs if I like them, but I have mulitple AJR songs on my playlist (Bang, Way Less Sad, Sober Up, Weak, Burn the House Down, 100 Bad Days). I think that's the most of any one band outside of certain musicals, it takes a lot to get me to listen to new songs.

I had a very minor website back in the late 90s called The Inexplicable Object of the Week. It got a Yahoo Pick of the Day, and Week, and Month, and YEAR. So someone stole the whole thing, word for word and image after image, and reposted it on their page. A page with almost nothing else on it. Didn't take long for the guy to get caught. "His" version disappeared soon after.
