    i hear ya. i figure i'll hit the main stage to see MMJ, as i wanna catch some of iggy before that...then slowly make my way for a decent view by the time PJ hits the stage. i know i'll be drinking, so i'll have to figure out something....holding it will not be an option!

    Usually if you're at the front of a GA show (I've never been on the railing) you don't get the opportunity to drink a bunch before the show...so it makes it easier not having a full bladder going in.

    yea I dont really drink anyways, and I dont remember ever needing a pee break during a PJ show...I dont like to miss anything so I do it b4 or after. BUT..the blunts will be firing up the whole show thats for sure.

    NewJ... most of us r gonna start making our way to the front around KOL. It makes no sense to wait there all day just to get to the rail...push me, pull me..Im getting there somehow.. ;)

    For those of you fighting for the railing:

    Don't need a helmet, got a hard, hard head
    Don't need a raincoat, I'm already wet
    Don't need a bandage, there's too much...blood...
    After a while, seems to roll right off...hmm...

    Whipping,...they're whipping,...
    ...They're whipping, ah...they're whipping...
    Don't need a hand, there's always arms attached
    Oh, don't get behind, I can't fall back
    Why must we trust all these rusted rails?
    They don't want no change we already have
    They're whipping,...they're whipping,...
    ...They're whipping,...they're whipping...

    Don't mean to push, but I'm being shoved!
    Ohh, I'm just like you, think we've had enough
    I can't believe a thing they want us to...oh...
    Oh, we all got scars, they should have 'em too...
    Oh, they're whipping,...they're whipping,...
    ...They're whipping,..they're whipping...
    They're whipping,...they're whipping,...
    ...They're whipping...yeah...they're whipping...

    i don't think ed wrote the song to be the end all, be all of a musical experience.....it's a protest song....the message is most important...

    like i said, id rather hear the message spoken. as i recall the chorus was so clumsy and awkward that it made me cringe.

    i just remember thinking the lyrics were some of the worst, most ham-handed i'd ever heard ed write ebfore. but whatever. im just happy to be in the building. even if there's one song i dont care for... that leaves another 20-odd ill be more than happy to hear. now if he plays that back to back with last kiss, we'll have problems ;)
