I thought it was so cheesy letting people text.. and show it on the big screen.

The funniest one was "Play Bugs... seriously..."

E-A-G-L-E-S???????? Fuck the Eagles. Enough with the Giants and the SB.. and the 18-1 texts..

    Good Job Asshole !!
    You should be really proud of yourself for looking like a fucking ass clown in front of thousands of people. I'm sure both Boom and the Band enjoyed your intelligent comment.

    Idiot.

    Yes. Because everyone knows that it was me that did it and they probably know where I live too.

    I think you should change your name from "Biggest Wave" to "Biggest Douche Nozzle".

    So many angry PJ fans today......

    I'm sure the band was sitting and reading the screens the entire time they were backstage.

    I thought name calling was against the posting guidelines here?

    I see nothing wrong with the text message. I'm sure Boom and the boys
    could really give a rodent's tuchus what anyone thinks.

    what? angry? what would they have be angry about after the great show we got last night? hehe ;):D

    you're right, though, while backstage the band actually does read some if not all the Verizon text messages that are broadcast at each venue,...hence eV starting the "let's go Rangers" chant :)

    No.
    But you've kind of let us all know who you are now.

    So...I'll say it again.

    Nice Job Asshole

    Terrible what Boom did to it. When I hear Crazy Mary start I know it's pee break time. When I heard it start at Camden 1 I knew it was time to hit the road.

    Again. Matter of opinion.

    I did like the texting last night. Not that I agreed with all of the texts, but it passed the time while waiting for the setup. I acutally thought the song requests were falling on deaf ears, so you might as well say something funny or whitty.

    Good for you.
    I'm glad that your so proud of yourself.

    Maybe you can meet up with the meathead that took a piss in the aisle at yesterdays show...You'd be a perfect couple.

    Keep aiming low.

    :.....3 years 405 posts? You should consider going back to not posting at all and sparing us...

    Sorry that I can't sit here 24/7 like some of you do. I really only come here when they tour. Some of you people really need to lighten up a bit. It's a fucking text message. It's not like I threw something on stage that nearly hit someone. Oh that's right. When that happens the person gets defended and security is the asshole. I think some of you need to get your priorities in order.
