it's official MMJ opening for PJ!

[peanut butter puddin surprise]

I'm not certain where this anger comes from.  Jim was sick.  The tour got cancelled.  We've discussed this at length, and someone new comes along and pisses in the Wheaties all over again, offering so called "inside information" as to Jim's health status.  What a crock.

I would just go out and buy some of the bootlegs.  State College PA and Benyora Hall (Awesome Acoustic Set)  would be a good start.  Also, if you haven't listend to NO CODE and YIELD yet you have alot to look forward to.

Right, Yield and No Code are good ones to buy if you have not listened to PJ in a while.

Hi pals - anybody know when regular ticket sales are?  I checked the TicketMaster site and they said no info available, blah de blah de shut up ticketmaster.  ;)

I don't suppose this is the kind of thing that the nice little friendly record stores will have tickets for, right?

Thanks, guys.  :)

In a perfect world, MMJ would be the band capable of filling the united center, and inviting a kick ass band with a smaller following along for part of its tour....but this isnt that world, so just be happy for the chance they're getting to play in front of more massive crowds...i'm kind of excited, although not sure i will get to make it to a show

Well, like it or not, I have as much right as you to an opinion, however many posts you might have made.

You don't own this forum. Get over it.

[peanut butter puddin surprise]

ah, but you stated your "opinion" as fact.   big difference, i'm afraid.

[DiamondDays]

I'm not going to let you get away with that one 'I'm afraid'.

According to your lazy argument, the majority of posts here can be viewed as people stating 'facts' rather than 'opinons'.

Most people (yourself apparently not included) can distinguish between people expressing opinions rather than facts without every post being preluded by 'It's only my opinion, but...' I'll make myself clearer for numbnuts such as yourself in the future.

And, by the way, is your post an 'opinion' or a 'fact'. You've failed to make it clear.

[peanut butter puddin surprise]

[cracks knuckles]

No, you said the following:

I've also talked to various people who know Jim, who have been a little more candid about his 'illnesses'

You stated this as a fact.  I challenge you to prove it, naming names, and providing us with proof that you have the medical knowledge/education to make a diagnosis about Mr. Jim's health.  

Of course, you can't do that, you merely posted bullshit to fan flames, like the good troll you are.

Now run along, sonny-hasn't 4th period study hall started?

i think it's about lunch time, actually.

LOL.  What are they serving today at the cafeteria?  ;)

Implying someone is a child because they disagree with you is just so tedious.

And, OK, it was the guitarist from Dr Dog seeing as you are convinced that I'm a liar. He said something about Jim having trouble with the cabin pressure on long flights. This didn't sound too convincing, but that's what he said.

Does it not strike you as odd that it has happened repeatedly - I'm not just referring to the last set of cancelled gigs?

All of the above is my opinion.

Fuck.  I keep reading these posts wrong; I thought conaway was implying you were a child because you're acting like a child.

Listen.  It's really shitty these concerts got cancelled.  No one disagrees.  But if you are so pissed at the band that you believe Jim is faking illnesses and hates Europe or whatever, do you really still want to see them live?  Or do you just want them to come back so that you can heckle them?

ok personally i cant dispute the fact that you talked to the guitarist and heard him say that.  heres my take though.  mmj are not a huge band, along the lines of u2.  they make most of their money by touring, and even that is not a lot.  they wouldnt go the trouble of booking a full fledged tour in europe knowing jim cant handle the transportation to get over there.  people dont seem to realise they lost a good deal of money from this.  ill go by knowledge of a musician i know personally, dan bern.  most people have no idea who the fuck he is.  he plays in front of 100 to 300 people max when he's "headliing", and it still costs his booking agent $2000 to book him somewhere.  based on that, how much do you think mmj requires?  you can be damn sure they dont see that money back.  mulitply that by the number of shows they cancel, and most record company contracts, no matter how great, make the band responsible for that.  if they never planned on going to europe, i dont think theyd make the effort to book a tour.  just my opinion though.

I'm not implying-you deserved that ascertation since your postings certainly sound like the blatherings of an immature soul.  

And let's be clear:  I don't simply disagree with you.  You are doing a disservice to your supposedly favorite band by calling Jim James a liar.  For that, I don't just "disagree", I can't help but call you out on this obvious bullshit.  You can childishly read into the band's official statements all you want, but DON'T state assumptions about anything based on heresay as FACT.  See the difference?  I can assume I've got a billion dollars in my bank account, but the fact is I don't.

I can assume I've got a billion dollars in my bank account, but the fact is I don't.

can i assume a deposit for about $150,000 in my name to Fifth Third bank?  they'll have my info.   ;)

You're a reasonable soul aren't you Conoway? Go ahead, keep it nice and personal - its showing you in such a good light.
