In reply to this letter (at the bottom), I regurgitate a basic economic principle: "The value of a good is subjective." We base our lives on different perceptions of good and bad and how those filter onto and affect our resulting utility. I'm sure most everyone on this list gets "fucked up", or at least wants to... so I see no relation in them "getting" or not getting Ween. I personally haven't heard anything by Ween except what I saw on that movie with David Spade, which I thought was largely stupid (the random Ween segment)... since they could've gotten They Might Be Giants and stole the show.... who knows? And then personally, I enjoy people who make music for music, an art for an art... and a dollar or 2 on the side to survive toward their own utility... but I'm trying to say I don't care about the bases any band carries-- yet I hold no argument there since what it is that floats your boat, does. just a thought in succeeding to sound stupid, Jacob >--------------- MESSAGE modestmouse.v001.n1045.4 --------------- > >From: "Toni Rickman" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Subject: ween >Date: Thu, 13 Jul 2000 16:21:52 CDT >MIME-Version: 1.0 >Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed > >All I can say is, if you don't "get" Ween, then you must not get fucked up. >That's what there music is all about.
