(Editor’s Note: FYI… this is not making fun or “bashing” Lee D. in anyway. I mean, can you read? Do I have to black list Lee D again? Please say no, because he’s so fun to write about)
Just hear me out.
“Flower Child” is an old song right? Like he wrote it when he was 14? Oh good… so it is for his girlfriend back in middle school.
Lee to middle school GF: Will you be my flower child? Circle yes or no.
Middle school GF to Lee: Only if you’re my forget me not.
Lee to middle school GF: No but seriously… circle yes or no.
I mean, that’s obviously how baby Amish Lee wrote “Forget Me Not”.
See? He agrees.
Anyhoo, Lee D performed “Flower Child” for the first time live (I think that’s true—- I saw people say that on Twitter).
You want to know why I’m not Lee’s Flower Child— because I have no idea how to post Twitvids…. HAS HE EVER HEARD OF YOUTUBE?!??!
Click HERE to check it out for the 93847589349th time because I’m like 38 hours late on this.
By the way, I know you are all wondering what Lee’s middle school girlfriend looks like and I found her.
She’s a looker— but I think he went the right way with a wife who has nice hair, shows it off, and doesn’t ride around on a shitty scooter.

It’s Friday. It’s Friday AM and nothing else is going on so thankfully Lee D was playing with his iPhone last night.
At first I was really concerned because I’m still not sure why he’s on his honeymoon. I mean, my only reference to weddings is Father of the Bride and Annie and Brian when straight on their honeymoon (not before Annie called her dad and said “I love you” *tear), so why isn’t Lee D on his honeymoon? Is this the cool thing to do in 2012?
I think it’s stupid. I mean, even Bella Swan and Edward Cullen went straight on their honeymoon, but maybe that’s a bad example (see: Will Ferrell breaking it down for us).
Anyway, the whole point of this post is for me to ramble on about pop culture references that I’ve been dying to use and to tell Lee D that his hair looks great and I can see he’s growing the Amish beard back.
Do the Amish have honeymoons? Maybe that’s what it is.
Oh and word on the street is more tickets were added to that StageIt concert thing, so grab those if you are down for that.

I thought he was 26 and so does Wikipedia but I guess we can trust the birthday boy.
And as I’m inserting that imaging and making fun of Lee D I notice that this tweet was from last year and was just re-tweeted. So, I’m the idiot… not Lee D. But that title is good so I’m gonna keep it.
Anyway, Lee D is 26 today and he knows he’s 26, so let’s reuse birthday images from last year!
Did you get Lee D anything?? Because I did.
Rocco got me a Butterfinger!!
And even Oscar got out of bed early to wish Lee D a happy birthday…
(Don’t worry it says “girl”. Oscar isn’t sexist like the rest of us… he sees no gender.)
Anyway… hope Lee D has a great day and does whatever he wants to do on his birthday.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY LEE!
Those Amish are so thoughtful.

FYI Vampire Diaries starts back up next Thursday and my life is complete again.
Second FYI, Lady Gaga is banging a guy who played a werewolf who is now dead on the Vampire Diaires. I wonder if they fight over her genius and her mind blowing creativity.
Taylor Kinney can apparently deal with Lady Gaga and her lack of pants because these two were walking around whilst Christian side hugging.
Aren’t you super curious about what these two talk about?? I can’t possibly imagine Lady Gaga having a colloquial conversation. Like, at all.
Word on the street is these two are checking out real estate in Kinney’s old stomping ground of Lancaster, Pennsylvania.
The Amish will loooooove this!
I hear that Lady Gaga's in town. We should lock up the children.

I have no idea where I found this video. I probably stole it off of Twitter because I’m a thief.
Anyway, someone tweeted a video of Lee Bear back in the day (when he was probably Amish) and I believe the name of the song is “XRT”. Now, the only way one Amish teenager can come up with that title is if they dumped a bag of Scrabble letters on the floor, closed their eyes, and chose three letters.
Scrabble anyone???
Now, I listened to this while eating Quiche (which is a hard word to get in Scrabble, but I bet you get an ass load of points) and I didn’t hear him say “XRT” once and I can’t even imagine how he could possibly work that into a hook.
Anyway, it’s nice to see old school Lee Bear again because from all his “I can’t wait to release new music”, “this new music is really me” and “I hate my RCA album” talk…. this is probably what we can expect from the guy.
I just hope he chooses at least 4 Scrabble letters next time when he’s naming a song.

If you can’t already tell by the fact that it’s noon and I wrote about 3 things, it’s Whatever Wednesday at The Revolution and I have the sniffles. So, feel free to send gifts drenched in NyQuil/DayQuil and just fake laugh at everything I say today to boost my self-esteem as I sneeze all over my computer. (Violins are playing in the background right now)
Anyway, The Killers seriously have released a Christmas song and I thought they were Mormon and I didn’t know Mormons believed in Christmas. Mitt Romney hasn’t discussed that yet and he’s the only Mormon I can reference as of now. Clearly, we know who Brandon Flowers is voting for.
He’s like a mormon Johnny Cash.
This is the real cover of the new single…
But this should just be the cover art. Now, I know they are really mormons.
Mormons are the new Amish.

There Is A Lot Less Snapping In This Lee D Song That I Would’ve Guessed

WHAT WHAT WHAT?!?! A new old Lee Bear song?? Tis the holiday season.
Lee D was totally Amish when he wrote/recorded this song… I can just tell. I can tell because I feel like he recorded this sans electricity, which is totally possible so go with it.
The Amish love snapping
I really appreciate the animation of fingers in mid snap at the top of the video. It helps deaf people understand the song.
And as for the place where all the flowers and children play??? I imagine it looks a lot like this…
And you know it does.
“Snaps” will be available for purchase on December 13th.

(That’s supposed to be a play on “Never There” but it sounded funnier in my head. Sorry)
Wuli Records released “Never There”, an oldie but goodie from Lee Bear, and I can only assume it’s from his Amish days, and this is how he got kicked out of the Amish community.
HOLY ELECTRIC PIANO HORSE & BUGGY!!!
Amish #1: Have you heard the news about Lee Bear?? / Amish #2: Yes.. electric piano and guitar. It's a travesty
I'm gonna shave my Amish beard and use amps.
Anyway, “Never There” is now released and you can go to Itunes (HERE) to purchase it for only 99 cents! THAT’S A DEAL!
And for even more of a deal, if you send your iTunes receipt from your purchase on October 4th (today) to lee4free@leedewyze.com you get a free unreleased song from Lee, Lee Bear will come to your house in the Hat Of All Freakin’ Hats and hang the artwork for “Never There” on your bedroom wall.*
Where would ya like it hung??
I think Lee painted that during his Amish days… in the dark.
But for realsies… go to Itunes and buy “Never There” like a human being who cares about the fate of the free world. I’ll call the government on you if you don’t.
She's not f**king around.
-Rocco
P.S. * Okay… I don’t think he’ll wear the Hat Of All Freakin’ Hats because we know how he is. His wedding… definitely his wedding is when that hat will be worn.
EDIT!! So, Lee D sounds totally amped and psyched about the release of “Never There”. Note to self: I need to invent sarcastic font.
The Guy Tim Halperin That NO ONE Remembers From American Idol Is Trying To Be The James Franco Of Music

What I’m about to tell you is something James Franco wishes he thought of before some reject from American Idol.
Remember Tim Halperin?? Yeah… me neither.
Oh that’s right… he’s Amish. (Heyyy Amish heeeeeey!)
Anyway, Tim Halperin got kicked off of American Idol pretty early on because I guess America does not like when the Amish start using electricity all of a sudden. Who knows??
But now that Amish Timmy is off of Idol, he’s releasing his album Rise & Fall, but not before sitting in a jail cell, in the middle of a parking lot, to gain attention, and to symbolize the constrictions of an Idol contract.
Halperin, in a symbolic gesture meant to represent “contract restrictions” placed on him by American Idol, will enter a jail cell in the parking lot of the West Village Shopping Center the Shops at Legacy in Plano at 5 a.m. Monday.
Tim is a moron.
Why doesn’t he put on black face and be really controversial and make a statement about the racial injustices on Idol?? Or maybe he can do black face and wear hot pants and talk about the gay community as well??
I understand the American Idol contract is constrictive (to everyone except Pia Toscano of course), but comparing it to jail is a tad dramatic.
Anyway, here is a preview of Rise & Fall… not bad Tim. But I don’t like drama queens.
AMISH CONTROL YOUR PEOPLE!!!
The ironic part is he’s trying to be the rebel American Idol contestant that speaks out against the show… but EVERYONE that has been on the show complains about it. Idea: how about you don’t sign up in the first place???

I’ve been ignoring the Amish lately and this is my shout out to them. Hey Amish heeeeey! I love you guys! I love you and your lack of electricity and your butter churning.
Ashley Olsen apparently loves the Amish too, because she looks like a little Amish wife (they have Full Houses yeah??) in this ensemble.
Ignore the fact that oufit cost more than my rent, she looks Amish. No woman in 2011 (minus any of the Duggar females) wears a skirt below their knee with a long sleeve button down. Absolutely not.
