Every Time I Die Frontman Is a Bad Fortune Teller

AWmusic recently posted an interview piece with Every Time I Die vocalist Keith Buckley.

I’m assuming the actual interview took place back in November based on this less-than-clairvoyant prediction regarding the current financial crisis:

Hopefully the next 4-5 months we start to see an incline in the economy, if the right guy wins tonight, which is Barack Obama Obviously.

Nice try, though, Keith. Maybe next time.

    Dude knows nothing about mixed economies if he thinks it can turn around in 2-3 months…no matter who the new guy in office is.

    Straight from Jon: it was supposed to get published in a friends newspaper but the university cut his funding.

    Not sure which university or which friend but I guess it couldn’t hurt posting an unpublished interview as outdated as it was.

    didnt he start with “hopefully”? i think that means wishful thinking…not an exact answer.

    sometimes no news is good news, guys.

    yes, he said hopefully. but it seemed pretty obvious that he was saying it was a realistic likelihood primarily hinging on obama being elected.

    and allan, we’ve posted OLD stuff, too. so i feel that. honestly, it was just kind of cool to have fresh words like these that weren’t fresh. gave it extra weight, if that makes sense.

    Here’s the whole quote, which is a bit more tentative:

    “Hopefully the next 4-5 months we start to see an incline in the economy, if the right guy wins tonight, which is Barack Obama Obviously. We’ll see. It’s a concern…”

    Yeah. Obviously.

    since we all know that Barack Obama is the messiah, sent down from Chicago to cure our wayward capitalist ideals with his new brand of shitty socialism.

    It’s always been interesting to me that people have legitimately thought that one dude (i.e. the president) could turn the economy around. Doesn’t sound like the most naive thing to believe in? “Oh, well if ‘insert name here’ wins then everyone will get free sodas and lollipops too.” That’s sounds just about as realistic; honestly, that’s not a bad idea as long as you can choose your own soda.
    What I’m trying to say is, perhaps we should stop being ignorant and actually think about what we (a dude from a rock band) have to say. One person, not even the president, can just suddenly turn things around just like that. It’s kind of, like the Titanic, it doesn’t just turn and change it’s course immediately upon turning it actually takes time. And even still, I’m nailing down the point that IF one dude could really have that profound of an impact then why haven’t we seen him? It’s never going to be anyone, it’s going to have to be A LOT of people; including us.
    Rant, wow… my bad. And I agree, dismissing all I said before to agree, Seth could. 2012, you’ve got my vote.
