OK, maybe I was a little harsh, but if you knew anything about the
history of the Greek v. Indep. system on this campus, i.e. the University
of Alabama, you'd understand a little more.
 
I went on to add in a subsequent letter, that while I did like "Space
Wrangler" a lot, I haven't been impressed with anything the band has done
since then.
 
And I don't have to respect a band just because they tour with the
Connells, I just have to put up with hearing their set before or after
the Connells come on stage, whatever the case may be.
 
I apologize to anyone who was offended by my comments about "fratboy
music", that's just what we all call it around here, but I stand by my
statement that I think that a tour with Widespread Panic is a bad
decision, and yes, I have seen them live.
