Weird.
I read somewhere else that free beer was also served. I can’t verify it though.
Deflating news for me but not surprising. I love the Decemberists. I bought their album, “Picaresque,” a few years back and it’s an amazing piece of music. I’m not naive, though, so I always assumed the members were lefties, but I still enjoyed the music so long as they kept their mouths shut.
This interview with the guitarist is beyond the pale, however. Sadly, I will no longer listen to the Decemberists.
On a related note, my wife just pointed out that Steely Dan will be in Vegas in August and asked me if we should go. I love Steely Dan, but I won’t do it. Either Becker or Fagen opened his mouth a few years back (Bush Derangement Syndrome) so I just can’t get myself to go.
Why can’t these losers just “Shut Up And Sing”?
