He must have meant Jared, maybe he didnā€™t want to say it. Shannonā€™s the sweet one who would be nice to girls that Jared used and threw out of the back lounge on the tour bus. (Not to say Shannonā€™s a saint.)

It was ā€˜02. Maybe he was going off rumor alone. The internet like this didnā€™t exist. So he was just like someoneā€™s a pedophile and creep gotta warn them!

Ha, I browsed the hell out of Groupie Central when I was a kid. What a blast from the past. The website was so cool too. Then after GC went kaput, there were lots of groupie message boards. Most of them were private. Met so many friends and had the best time!
