Yeah, but you can't help it. I HATE the Meat Puppets because of their piss ass behavior and attitude when they came to play my school. They were dicks to my friends in the band that opened for them. There was just no need.

Meanwhile, Tommy Keene was a complete love when we interviewed him for our radio shows, and put us on the guest list to his show. He remains a fave.

Same here, but I have a friend with a collection of pictures without the girl's head. It is disturbing.

Recently I was at a bbq and 2 ex's were there. Quite odd.

That's probably because she's giving her head elsewhere!!!!

So are you saying the bands you listed were nice, therefore they went up a few notches?

Often if they are assholes when you meet them. Bands I don't like get kicked up a few notches if they are nice, those that are assholes get kicked down some off my listening lists.

Ones that have gone up (I wish to accent the positive):

Keane
Marcy's Playground
John Mayer
Howie Day

Then that's the difference between being the fan and being the listener. You being the fan, short for fanatic.

I just like to groove to music. I don't have any burning desire to suck a dick or collect a drumstick.

Yep.

However, Howie Day…he popped in at a show in Annapolis. Bleheh.

Jewel with a frisbee. Plus, yelling at a little girl on Christmas Eve. :p

anytime they incorporate latest fad like rapping, electronic drums [80s], synthesizers to everything… whenever they get all bon jovi and do the group-sing thing - all in harmony n crap.

"whoa - ho, liv-in on a prayer!!"

[then up an octav or watever it is]

"whoa - hho, liv-in on a prayer!!!"

just shoot me, shoot me now, mufferstomper

Yes. Keane, playing Fletchers (while having the number 1 single in the UK) were cool with the room, worked with what was there, and had no hissy fits. Marcy's Playground were just really nice. John Mayer, everyone thanked us after the show and were cool during the show. Howie Day, solo acoustic and again, nice, friendly and easy to work with. And I can't forget Superdrag thanking me by name at the show (I booted it too).
