At the beginning, I was hoping he would just keep his mouth shut.<BR/><BR/>I escaped for the restroom when they went into their jam.The Modern Galhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08663558561522180816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6974628747643667572.post-8266178227712806472008-08-14T17:47:00.000-04:002008-08-14T17:47:00.000-04:00There was a time when I wouldn't have hesitated to...There was a time when I wouldn't have hesitated to shell out $50 to see the Pumpkins: maybe ten years ago. These days that's a little rich to see a band that probably resents it's earlier work, which of course is the stuff we all want to hear.<BR/><BR/>I was still mighty tempted, but in the end I think all I really want out of them is to listen to Gish really loud while driving with my windows down, thinking about the times when I thought I had it all figured out.Mickeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16980072484914437668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6974628747643667572.post-35079265992334151332008-08-14T13:54:00.000-04:002008-08-14T13:54:00.000-04:00I, too, was there.

Everyone knows it."<BR/><BR/>sigh...<BR/><BR/>I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt. I'm sure he's just as upset that things aren't what they used to be. <BR/><BR/>After this comment, they went into heavy metal jam time for forever, where I sat down. My mind began drifting until someone a few seats down screamed, "You arrogant prick! Play something good!"<BR/><BR/>and what I have to say to that is that everyone who bought a ticket knew what they were getting themselves into. I was even getting the feeling that Billy Corgan wanted us to dislike him a little. <BR/><BR/>All in all, I'm glad I went. I can't dislike them for what they have become no matter how much I may want to. Maybe they'll come back around, but even if they don't, I'll always love them.Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11546560836715616196noreply@blogger.com
