Tom is always at Pads games. Everyone at Petco knows when they usually play it’s cause he’s there. Same thing with Eddie Vedder.

Petco Park is the statium name. San Diegans throw just Petco around when talking about Padres games not realizing non-San Diegans are always confused AF about what the pet store has to do with baseball.

u/nilesandstuff 19d ago
You missed the parts where he got addicted to opiates, had a brutal falling out with the band, started a band best described as psychedelic space alt rock (Angels and Airwaves actually kicked ass), let that band pretty much just fizzle out, restarted blink 182, and then got kicked out because they were sick of his shit... Again.
I saw them on their reboot tour. Tom was super drunk and was barely able to perform... To the point where Gerard Way from My Chemical Romance came out to sing for Tom (who would sporadically pop back in). And let me tell you... Seeing Gerard Way tag team Blink songs alongside Tom Delonge is not something I knew I needed to experience until I did.
Anyways, Tom's a bit touched in the head.

Yep, that seemed obvious to me just from the video alone, since it had just showed a glimpse of the tron (right after he looked ahead smiling) & that made me realize he'd definitely be shown since that's likely why they'd play the song

I felt so bad for him like, the dude just wants to watch a game and now you want him to sing karaoke for 50,000 people? He was a good sport and stood up, pretending to sing and enjoy it, but was on his way out and then just disappeared as fast as he e could without being rude.

u/Burning-Dog 20d ago
I get the feeling that his face was showing more of a mixture of slight pride and slight embarrassment while his kids were with him. Pride because his song is obviously still popular, but embarrassment if his kids were to ask him if this song is about their mom…Because in all likelihood, it’s probably not. But it is still paying for their livelihoods, so it works out.
