there was absolutely no sign of any type of dissatisfaction on the crowds end. and personally i thought that was our best MOW ever,
anyone who wanted to hate on that was just...i dunno looking for something to judge.
the audience was with us and that is all that counts. rock critics hate jam bands anyway and that was clearly the hat we were wearing for this weekend.
not to mention that was his backhanded "stay in your place nigga" remark with "these guys are hip hop what the fuck do they know about dylan"
shakes head.
im shocked cause this whole time jon has been a friend (this is the same jon prince had thrown out of the park during that miles davis sign of the time new years show in 1988.)
normally he has been supportive of this entire unit. so this is coming from left field.
it becomes a problem when you veer away from your corner....that is him judging me.
its like HELLO CRITICS!!!! you fuckers wanna always write about my 60,000 record collection!!! but let me actually show the evidence of studying those records for near 40 years and it becomes a problemo?
that show was bulletproof believe you me. in 90 mins we showed a range that no rap gr---NO GROUP has shown ---even his beloved Police which gave an (at that) satisfactory and quiet performance.
mofos trip me out---i just read the coachella review in blender and fuckers said the same shit (worst cover to the roots for doing the entire "masters of war" to "star spangled banner") and then turn ghostface's lackluster performance (was NOT clear on the mic, forgot lyrics, breath control and communication skills was "eh at best" and praised that shit to the high heavens) in a festival highlight.
i guarantee you: he didn't want to like it. cause critics hate musicians who think they are smarter than them.
