Sir Stewart Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 You are such a badass. You've mentioned this, like, 3 times. Be careful friend - some of those PMs were in response to A-man rocking some Silver Shamrock shit on a few folks. For reals. Link to post Share on other sites
watch me fall Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 My hope is after the cancelation and how they say in email they WILL make it up to us is no opening band and a 2 1/2 -3 hour show like they did in Chicago. That would be worth the wait IMO. I am still disappointed as this was the night to get my soul revived but will just listen to bootlegs of chicago and 9:30 club. I aint watching saturday night live...I think All Charleston folks should boycott Saturday Night Live in Protest of making our band cancel on us....We southerns are proud folk.......Eh, I'm still taping it.

Saturday Night Live didn't make 'our' band do anything!!! Even if someone feels that the cancellation was the right move, can we at least agree that Wilco had a choice in the matter????

jakobnicholas Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 What the hell?!!!!!!!!!! Wilco cancelled their Charleston show to be on SNL? When the fuck did this happen?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Link to post Share on other sites

embiggen Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 yes. they had a choice. I'm happy with their choice. I'm sorry for Charleston, but as it's been said 5 million times, they are rescheduling the show. it's not canceled, it's rescheduled. Link to post Share on other sites

Up is down, black is white, etc. etc. They did have a choice. You are dead right on that. Is that the vindication you were looking for? I am totally on board with the fact that they had a choice in the matter. Now, did they make the right choice or not is up for interpretation. On that, there is no right answer. It is subjective. Some think they did, some think they didn't. edit: What Pookie said. Link to post Share on other sites
Doug C Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Thank you!! You are the first people who are in favor of the cancellation to at least admit that it wasn't the only possible outcome. I appreciate your candor. Link to post Share on other sites

M. (hristine Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Awww. i think ellsworth just needs a lot of attention, and his yes-men buddies have all gone back to the wasteland of the Farrar board. Here's a hug, ellsworth. Link to post Share on other sites

Doug C Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 I do not need attention. I did the same thing many of you do. I read something on the board that I thought was wacky, responded to it and was amazed that no one else found the statement outlandish. Normal internet message board behavior.

Doug C Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Hey, you passed the test. Thanks for the kind reply. Now maybe someone will reply to other posts in other threads. I've talked about my Wilco history, how I came to SBS, my feelings for the music, hoping to find tickets to a show, seeing Roy acuff at the ryman as a youngster, etc. Not that I am fishing for attention but other folks posts get responded to either empathetically, "hey cool', 'thanks', constructive criticism, etc. I have been sincerely trying to become a part of the board. Other than the soccer thread, the only reponses I get are negative. In my cyber-experience, peole are welcomed regardless of their opinions, within reason, of course. Extreme views should expect a shunning. I would hope questioning a band's decisions logically and civilly, as I have done since the beginning of the SNL debacle, would not be seen as extreme. I'll hang in awhile longer though. Link to post Share on other sites

Analogman Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 You are such a badass. You've mentioned this, like, 3 times. No - that would be in real life, where I have actually caused physical harm to people. On here, it's just being an asshole. Plus - I was making a point. They could have kicked me off of here a long time ago - so you see everyone is given a lot of rope. Link to post Share on other sites
embiggen Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 That sums up my experience, Reni. did you not read my reply? I think the problem is that you are complaining so much about Charleston that no one has paid any attention to your other posts. you're known, at this point, as just complaining. calm down.

Most normal people get kind of fed up with covering the same territory over and over and over again. All you're getting is negative attention and to some folks I guess that's better than nothing. You really want to be part of the VC community? Bring something else to the table. I mean unless this is the kind of attention you prefer. Or unless it's just to go back and giggle like school girls about it on the other board. Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks. It would have been nice to have seen something in Nashville thread, not from you, youmay not have read it.. We obviously have things in common. I assume that Wilco is your favorite band too. I have only complained about Charleston over an over because people call me out. And I'll be happy to reply. Again, my message board experience is very different. Not better, just different. I am on the verge of just ah, forget it. Link to post Share on other sites
