Ween - From Someone Who Really Cares

Today WEEN is a thing of the past. I first heard ween in ninth grade - a year before i moved to their hometown of New Hope, PA. The song was Baby Bitch, a warped acoustic love sick jam - timeless really. I bought Chocolate & Cheese and pretended to “get it”.  Really though, it was like this weirdo compilation of different bands that were all kind of stoney. It was cool.

Fast forward to 24 years old and I have spent the last 10 years obsessed with all things brown. I have tried to turn probably like 50 people onto Ween. It stuck with like one or two of them - and that’s sweet. My close people get it like I do and they are going to be fucking bummed that we will never go to a ween show again and be pissed that they don’t play Right to the ways and the rules of the world.

Ween are my Beatles. I bought a four track because they made Good Ween Satan and The Pod on one, and they sounded really fucking good. I learned that you don’t have to be perfect right out of the box, you can just kind of love music and go from there. 

Pitchfork will probably write a thing on Ween and how they were like a joke for awhile and how they had a huge jam-head following because Phish covered “Roses are Free”. It will all be true but it will suck a whole lot. Don’t read it and don’t watch the videos they post. Listen to me - someone who really cares, a lot. 

For now i’m just going to keep on watching the same bootleg videos i have been since I found the YouTube.
