Open letter to an opening band
Dec. 4th, 2003 01:57 amDear Mr. Opening Band opening for the band I want to see,
Nobody knows who you are. You're not on the radio. You're not on Rap-Music-And-The-Real-World-I-Love-The-70's-VH-1-MTV. You're a bazillion miles away from the city you came from and all your fans in the local "scene" there. I did not pay to see you. I don't care about you. So kindly play your set and get the hell off so the act I paid money to see can come out and play. Don't jam for over an hour playing every song you've written ever since you were old enough to bang on pots in your mother's kitchen. I know not everyone at the show works at midnight but I do and when I only get to see twenty minutes of one of my favorite bands it puts me into a very foul mood! So kindly play four or five songs, pile back in your van and leave me the hell alone! Unless you're going to play "Freebird" in which case it is okay. Only you didn't play it!

batchix and stitchedsutures would so aptly say, fucktards.
