Wow. So much irrational hate 'jammed' into such a short post.
Perhaps it is you who needs to find an island on which to be alone?

Most of this jam/improv shit is basically just a big "my dick is bigger contest" where the musicians get off on trying to show folks how awesome they can play their instrument. I don't fuckin care how great you can noodle on a guitar, go get off in your own house. I have no idea what any of you see in this shit (especially if you don't fit into one of the two categories above), and i never will. Go find a utopian island somewhere where you can grow lots of pot and leave the rest of us alone.
:eek: Sorry… the jam top always hits a nerve with me. (NO comments please!)
phuck phish tickets
So your dick is small? Nothing to be ashamed of. You still probably have all the Asian men in the world beat, and like they say, it's not really the size, it's the way you use it.

five clasic country artist whom i just love:
conway twitty, merle haggard, little jimmie dickins, glenn cambell (wait.., was he really country?), oak ridge boys, earl scruggs (he might be more bluegrass than county), and let us never forget tammy wynette. i know that's seven, but it must be all that pot i smoke.

glenn cambell (wait.., was he really country[/QB]Country for sure. Check out his stuff with Bobbie Gentry. Great songwriter if you can forgive "Rhinestone Cowboy."
I'd have to go with George Jones, Hank Williams, Patsy Cline, Johnny Cash, and Merle Haggard.
Oak Ridge Boys? Dude, cmon, you must be starting your weekend smoking a little early?

George Jones, Willie Nelson, Dolly Parton, Bob Wills & Texas Playboys, Waylon Jennings
I always love "Elvira." I used to sing it as a kid, especially the realy deep base guy.I believe it was written by the Matrix.
The Statler Bros. laugh at the Oak Ridge Boys.
Willie Nelson is a hophead.
omg…, i forgot loretta. forgive me you coal miner's daughter, you. the new album was so great, girl. phish should do an album with jack. ooops; i mentioned that "jam" band again.
So…Redsock…exactly how long have you been a Phish-head?
phishheads, fishheads, rollie pollie phishheads
fishheads, phishheads, eat them up, yum!

[QB] i just love people's open loathingness of jam bands. god's it's great. i listen to it all, baby: ska-funk to prince-punk. i remember when i was skating everyday and listening to the circle jerks and dead kennedys. man we all hated those dirty hippies and their grateful crap music. and then i evolved. one sided views are corrupt and whatever. whose mind am i going to change, out there? jam bands are not evil; pat robertson is evil. go and think what you want; i know i do.
you have a nod in agreement here. yet I can see redsock's point as well. I think if we put both posts together, there's something for everyone.
The Phish Phactory is a RCRA site releasing contaminants into nearby water sources. When it closes this summer it will be placed on the National Priority List under Superfund and will become Mike Leavitt's number one concern the rest of his time as EPA administrator. He has promised that this scar upon the land will be cleaned up for music loving citizens of this country if it is the last thing he ever does.
That whole noodling thing is also a huge generalization of sorts. Have you listened to anything by newer "jambands" such as the disco biscuits, umphrey's mcgee, sound tribe sector 9 or the new deal? These and many other bands compose entire sections on the spot where each member fits in perfectly and in effect jam as one unit. They also include electronic elements which enhance their sound giving them a virtually infinite amount of tools to play with. While there are bands whose members solo a great deal (which I enjoy. everyone has a right to his or her own musical tastes), there are other "jambands" who very rarely do that at all if ever.

Originally posted by azaghal1981:STS9 are very boring live, though I do appreciate the more electronic influenced stuff. I have heard disco biscuit and new deal CDs before, and I admit to actually finding somethings to like on them, though I doubt their live show would do very much for me.

god…, after all that; i got a stinking phish ticket for the show that started this tirade in the first place. an ticketbastard screw up actually worked in my favour, and somehow a ticket appeared where they said a failure to process had been before. ticketbastard helped me. im speechless…, which i'm waiting for the expected "thank god" from the peanut gallery.
you're hanging around the day; you filling yourself with blame. (hooray, hooray; the great cult is almost upon us at 930. kool aid for all in the women's bathroom.)

Awesome. Maybe I'll give it a try. ;)

George Jones, Johnny Cash, Merle Haggard, Dwight Yoakam, Charlie Rich and early Sun-era Elvis Presley (I know he's a bit of stretch, but I'm sticking with it)
Regarding Ticketbastard - if you can't beat them, just work around them:
ten club
Relatedly, there's a rumor going around that suggests a Fall PJ tour. An active 10C membership is needed to ensure that you get fan club tix though.
