Ben Schwartz to Parrotheads : Fuck Off
Writes Ben,
I try to love the Cubs, I really do. I consider myself the loyal opposition when it comes to their owners, the GOP rubber stamping machine known as The Tribune Corporation. I put up with the ugly merch, the crummy ballpark, fans who believe in a “curse,” the exit of Steve Stone (which made this season hard to watch), that ghoulish statue of Harry Caray out front of Wrigley, Billy Corgan, and despite all my complaining, I put up with their “lovable loser” status in the hopes they might just win. I try to love the Cubs. But today, after seeing this, I just can’t. I may be out the rest of the season.
not exactly on topic but i was at reckless yesterday and they had stacks of zwan cd’s for “four dollars and change?” giving me the impression that they might come down a little if you thought that was too steep.
hey, they (the parrotheads, not the zwan cds) gotta go somewhere since the gulf coast got destroyed.
Parrotheads belong at Marlins games. Not to make light of the misery on the Gulf Coast, but I guarantee you, parrotheads will not generate sympathy for the region. The only transplatned Delta musician I need is Muddy Waters.
jimmy buffett is from dauphin island, which got hit by katrina. muddy waters’ home of rolling fork, miss. is north of jackson – not really all that near the gulf coast.
just sayin’.
