Jam Bands



I don't get the point. I love music and all different kinds of instruments. The only types of music I hate are: Country, R&B, most new rap, and jam bands. I will get to the others sometime in the future, but tonight is all about the jam bands.

I will admit that I like Dave Matthews and most of his songs. I have seen him in concert a few times and enjoyed myself for the most part. There are times, however, that they will play song like All Along the Watchtower and that shit lasts like 35 fuckin' minutes. Why? Sing, dance, strum your little fuckin violin and move on to the next song. You don't need to play the same beats over and over and over and over and over again. We get it. You can keep a beat and you just dropped a shitload of acid. Whoopity fuckin' doo. Play Ants Marching now.

Grateful Dead has some awesome songs and so do some of these other bands, but why must they play a 4 hour concert with only 5 songs? It doesn't make sense. I came to see a show and hear a broad variety of songs. If I wanted to hear the same thing over and over again I would scratch a cd and just drop acid in my apartment and save myself parking and ticket prices. Christ Sakes.

Honestly these bands put on these shows because they get big crowds and that equals big money. The people go to these shows because they love the music. They love the music because they just took some potent shit. That is the only way you will enjoy this shit is if you: A.) Shower once a week (if that) B.)Have some stoner friends to share with C.) Like to jump around in the heat, humidity, and rain to some motherfucker hitting the same chord on his ukelele for 2 hours because you dropped acid, shrooms, and smoked some Northern Lights on the van ride over.
