Now you can buy a drum program and "beats" and talk street limericks equal to childrens nursery rhymes and you will be called a musician or "artist". When no one learns how to play instruments any more, the music is dead.Take out electronic bass drum and handclaps on 2 and 4 eliminates rap and hip-hop as music.Sampling allows music without talent.

Funny commentary about the uh, former outro to the Pumpkins career in 2000; I, for one, am a fan of their reformation and started a blog about them last year. It's not often I run into people that were fans way back in the day -- I would definitely love to hear your thoughts (or loose, hazy memories) about the show you saw in 1991. How is it even possible that was 17 years ago? Hit me up with an email! Hi, Andrew!
