I need to move to Canada.
Tonight was such a great show! The crowd was probably the best crowd I've ever been apart of! AND THEY PLAYED "WITHOUT LOVE" FOR THE FIRST TIME!

I'm sure some of those are out of order.
"I will chat with you! Endless...ly.""That's what she said!"
Y'know, finding out that Potemkin City Limits is about an anthropomorphised pig has really kind of spoiled that song for me. I still think it's great, but I can't help but think it's kind of ridiculous - even moreso than Human(e) Meat, where I can at least see the argument they're making. Same goes for that part in Without Love where he sings about giving up his life for his dying cat. I get that animal rights is their thing, but it just makes me think Chris is kind of a nut job.
Pfft, it's a great story and a great song. Not many people can write a song about a pig and make it work the way they do.
I won't argue that Chris a little nuts, but that's part of what makes his songwriting so interesting, I think.
Without Love and America's Army? Fuck you guys.
Yeah, it's still a great song and I do like the story. I dunno, I guess I just find the tone odd? It's so serious and all. I guess if I didn't know these guys were big on their animal rights and stuff I'd probably think nothing of it. I dunno, they're still fab songs, I just find it... weird?
Maybe you'd relate to it more if Francis was a sheep?
Ha ha.
Potemkin Sheepy Limits? Without Wool?
