You are right, our asses have been kicked but we abide! Something better happen soon, though.........

I think I'm gonna watch Into the Wild tonight, although I'm quite certain that I'll agree the kid is a little shit........that's the impression I've gotten from friends and fellow fans......Still want to see it, though.

PLAY THIS SOUTH THIS YEAR!!!!!!!

Peace,

OK, so he says "A only" but now he says he's booked a flight for this summer...?? "A only" sounded like "Roo only" to me..........

I'm not trying to be negative and I still have high hopes for a tour but I'm taking everything JTR says with a big grain of salt!!

TOUR THE SOUTH SOON!!!!!!
ANNOUNCE A SOUTHERN TOUR SOON!!!!
FIX THE TICKETING PROBLEMS PLEASE!!!!!

Peace,
Pat

A only was meant to say bonaroo only.

but, about the plane tickets or travel plans, he was being facetious. i stated that they were on the tentative list, and he's trying to act like i'm giving it out as "done deal, perfect information" like he claimed his info was last year.

the problem is that all his promises and inside info never, ever matched with what i was getting. i'm happy to describe my sources (not stone) as i have done in the past. they have been correct, while jtr has proven to have been nearly completely inaccurate from the first time he came here...

and, that whole bat wings thing was the topper for me. i never gave him a hard time before that. "where did the bat wings go" he asked one day, after dropping several hard-core trivia questions on us. he started a thread about it. he promised and promised and promised the answer, just as he had promised all this other crap about the tour. then, without answering, he disappeared for 6 months....i just found it to be par for the course, and that's when i started publicly questioning his veracity.

you can read his arrogance for yourself in those posts of his that i quoted above. remember where it came from. you can thank me and apologize later. whatever, dude. if any of that info was even remotely true, we would all have been buying him beers and meals and whatever in our respective areas of the south, i guarantee that. what i don't get is those who were here for all that a year ago, and who continue to coddle him anyway. either they just can't get themselves to admit he's a chain-yanker because they want so badly to believe him, or they're hoping that he will hook them up somehow if a tour actually pans out.

i, for one, don't need the emotional stress of hanging on his every teasing word, and i don't need him to hook me up on anything i can get myself hooked up just fine, thank you.

We managed to see it while it was playing at the Miracle Five. Did you go to the Cinemark? I think it's still playing there for $1.00.

Also, I started my new job training last week. I'm going into a sales position where I'll be selling flat panel tvs, surround sound systems, computers, cameras, all other kinds of electronics. At lunch on Friday, I put Immagine on the flat panel / 5.1 setup they had. It was incredible with such technology behind it! I'm thinking of having a Pearl Jam demo spot for the rock music enthusiast who comes in to buy speakers.

Tour the South, you tech-savvy mofos.

I wanted to go see it at Movies 8, but my wife's been sick for the past 2-3 weeks, so that was a no go. We bought it last week and loved every minute of it. We would had loved to seen it on the big screen, but what can you do.

And I love the PJ demo spot idea, where do you work now, if you don't mind me asking.

Doh....!! I can't believe I didn't catch the obvious irony in his post. How dare he show up after all this time and say shit about you? I just don't get it.......I'm sorry, don't mean to start anything but I don't trust the guy and haven't for a long time, if ever. My ten club number is the only thing I expect to hook me up although I'm SO very hopeful to meet most of you really, really soon!!!

more than anything it bothers me that he came in here and caused such an uproar, only to have so many GOOD people in this thread have their hopes raised and dashed, and raised and dashed ad nauseum......

people spent two pages defending him, kissing his ass i guess in case his story turns out to be true, even though 90% of what he ever posted here was either teasing us or just wrong...i'm sorry, i don't get why everyone treats the guy with such kid gloves after all those promises, stringing us along, and wrong information....

I was gonna be neutral in this little tit for tat, but saying this has really soured me on you.

I think that you owe some people an apology for this statement.

Point taken.

However, I think you would be wise to understand that tybird (and many others of us here) enjoy the music of the Drive-By Truckers. Said band happens to have a cd entitled The Dirty South. Give it a spin and see if you don't dig it the most.

The Dirty South...it ain't braggin' if it's true.

ok, i apologize if my guess at the reasoning is incorrect. i don't mean to put words in other people's mouths. the problem is i don't understand. you have to admit, though, that it seems nobody is willing to call bullshit here on him but me.

why?

would you or anyone else like to explain why you can't bring yourselves to call bullshit on jtr after what he did here last year?

sorry, y'all if i stepped on any toes (other than jtr, i'm still pissed with him), but please understand that the above statement is the root of my anger. i don't think we deserved the roller coaster he put us through, and i won't stand by and let him do it again. i don't give a shit if he DOES know stone, it wasn't cool. in fact, i'll go so far as to say that if he does know stone (and i'm not saying he doesn't....i have no idea), but if he does, that what he did to us was even worse than if he just made the whole thing up. he played us like a bunch of cheap harmonicas.

I want to know why JTR has finally spilled the beans who his source is in the band? PLAY THE SOUTH!!!!!

Thank you Ty.

Chapped lips does not equal abundant ass kissing.

Pearl Jam owes us (the dirtysouth) an apology.

Dangerboy, I think we give everyone on this thread the benefit of the doubt. We know that PJ did make moves to play the south at some point and back pedaled out of it. Reports came from various people - (including me thru a local guy in radio who had NEVER steered me wrong before).

Ther is no need to single any one person out to call bullshit. It was a frustrating time, but I believe no one was being malicious. We were all just surprised by PJ's apparent fickleness and angered by the BAND's lack of communication. I blame the band for settling for corporate decisions.

JTR's games were actually fun... I did not take offense. Nor did I actually pin any hopes to benefit by his influence or contacts.

I supposed I am ever more guarded when dealing with electronic personas... it is not exactly real. All the more reason to make that personal contact and break those barriers - perhaps at a concert

(It may just have to be a Drive-By-Truckers concert)
