I'm actually blogging about One Direction. Colour me surprised.
So the world's biggest boy band just lost one of its members: the very talented and hyper-handsome Zayn Malik (his voice is like buttah and I believe his face was sculpted by GOD), and all I can say is I hope people aren't being unkind to their many fans. I am not personally saddened by the news that they're one member short now, but I do empathize with their fans. After all, I remember the pain I keenly felt when Pat Pengelly left Bedouin Soundclash back in 2009. It was awful. I mean, most people know what it's like to have their favourite band split up or have a member leave a group. You go through a mourning period; you know the person isn't dead and you know you'll always have the previously recorded music to enjoy, but knowing they're no longer a part of that facet of your life is incomprehensible. Most recently, Death Cab for Cutie lost Chris Walla and it was very disappointing. Not Pat Pengelly leaving Bedouin Soundclash disappointing, but still sad...
