you all can refer to me as weasel, btw. "walter" is the last name that
the members of my immediate family use. 

i gotta say i'm scared the thing is going to suck. i don't want my
fantasies about the band destroyed by a nostalgia routine. oh well . . .
too bad for me. 

i can't/won't be there probably more for how scared i am of the audience,
not necessarily the band. i generally find it nauseating when something
that wasn't popular or liked when it happened becomes cool and awesome
later on. the best thing that could come out of it is that teenage jesus
revolts or punishes the audience. that would be in line with the concept.


the idea of having to stand in the audience next to some smiling idiot
mouthing the words to "orphans" like they're at a fucking pixies concert
is just totally vomit inducing to me. sorry, but i know this is going to
be the case. 

teenage jesus was great because they did it great and got out while the
getting was good.  i'm not anxious to see them trot it out again because
it basically defeats the purpose of their original intent. call me a
purist. i don't care.

that's funny, walter. what are you scared about? 


anyway, the line-up should be LL, Mr. Sclavunos, and, according to
rumors, Thurston on bass. anyone paying close attention will realize that
this is not really a bona fide reunion in that Sclavunos will be on
drums, when he actually played bass in TJ, and Thurston was never in the
band but was a fan at the time. it would have been cooler if they could
have gotten Reck from Japan back on bass. (i met him there about 10 years
ago, so hopefully he's still alive and kicking) and brought Bradley back
from the dead. resurrecting dead people always makes for the best reunion
shows.
