kansas loves god though.... check out the book "what the hell is wrong with kansas" good stuff.

anyways, i voted for the second option of yes as i believed it to be closer to "no" than the first option.

they are a fun band though.

I read a review of that book and was meaning to pick it up but I never did.

And you're wrong....the second yes was actually more "yes" than the first.

God hates Kansas because yesterday....it was raining and it smelled like sewage.

Yeah, normally I don't like Phish either, but that was a good song.

Ween puts on a really good live show though. If you get the chance to see them you really should take the opportunity.

I saw Ween a long time ago open for Beck of all people. It was a strange act indeed. They had a section of fiddle players absolutely ripping but completely detached from what the rest of the band was doing. These three fiddlers were like holding a conversation and yucking it up with each other while the rest of the band was putting their heart into. Not a note out of place, but such a strange phenomenon.

You probably saw The Sh** Creek Boys. Which was Ween and a bunch of Nashville studio guys. Pretty good combination IMO.

Hmm. Interesting. They were introduced and billed as Ween. But that makes sense. Those Nashville studio guys were amazing ripping musicians.

Quantrill's raids taught us that trickery is the only way to survive.
