Because Placebo’s music has been such a pillar of strength for me growing up. Being a teenager is never easy, but Placebo gave me something to believe in. I felt like there were people out there who understood how I felt. And I certainly know that I’m not the only teenager who has felt this way about Placebo. They give the “outsiders” something to believe in. And now that I’m a bit older I’ve started to appreciate them for other reasons. My reasons now for loving them so much is that they are brilliant musicians, songwriters and performers. They have grown up.
And they just keep getting better by every album that they make. Go Placebo! And go Brian Molko! He is a beautiful, intelligent, funny and immensely talented guy.
