Comments on: Touring With Willie Nelson – Bad for Brains http://sixmeatbuffet.com/archives/2009/03/23/touring-with-willie-nelson-bad-for-brains/ This blog was filmed before a live studio audience Wed, 10 Mar 2010 20:28:31 -0800 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: Nigel http://sixmeatbuffet.com/archives/2009/03/23/touring-with-willie-nelson-bad-for-brains/comment-page-1/#comment-540323 Nigel Mon, 23 Mar 2009 19:08:07 +0000 http://sixmeatbuffet.com/archives/2009/03/23/touring-with-willie-nelson-bad-for-brains/#comment-540323 Mellencamp used to be one of my favorite artists...until a night about 5 years ago when I spent $95 for tickets to one of his shows only to be held hostage by a 5-minute anti-Bush rant. I purchased tickets to his next concert, but as the date approached I kept remembering his moronic tirade and the day before the concert I simply gave the tickets away to a co-worker...feeling like a fool for giving this turd my money. I still listen to his music...because I can seperate the artist from his/her art (i.e. Elton John, Sheryl Crow)...but I doubt I will ever return to one of his concerts.

That's the only reason he made it, and that's why his music gets pumped by classic rock stations through my car speakers until I can practically hear them begging for a quick death.
