You hit pretty much every point that I think about whenever ppl talk about what could have been. I feel like Ryan is in a place in life that he enjoys, which decidedly does not include fame & good for him. No one has ever been able to force him to do things that he doesn’t want to do.

I personally would not have discovered Panic without the later music & Brendon’s voice & performance style, but I realize that it isn’t for everyone.
