FTC DISCLOSURE: This blogger knows someone who knew someone who was a member of Hoobastank, and this blogger actually met said member of Hoobastank once, although he only recalls it dimly. Readers should be informed of this because the circumstances of this relationship may impact positively, or perhaps negatively, on this blogger's coverage of the Hoobastank band. While this blogger has not received direct monetary compensation from Hoobastank, existing business theories about "goodwill" dictate that a monetary value could conceivably be assigned to the relationship, and therefore disclosure is mandatory.
Hey, I disclosed in my business and Inland Empire blogs, so I might as well disclose here also.
