Seriously though. On one hand It's upsetting that not enough people know about ween and their music, but on the other hand in a way I would kind of hate to see what happened if people started catching on. I feel like there would be a lot of people who came in and started acting like they've always been here, or like they know everything about the band. Then of course there's the issue with their older work. I feel like a good chunk of people would not take some of their older songs very well. I've been listening to ween for almost 2 years now, and I've gone out of my way to check out all of their albums, and not even I know how to feel about some of their older tracks. Like they are clearly products of a different time. And I know most of them are satirical, but they're kind of the reason I have a hard time recommending ween to friends, because I just don't know how they would take music like that. Like I want people to appreciate this music, but how do you recommend a band to people when they've got songs like the HIV song and stuff like that? Maybe I'm just overthinking this thing though.

For me I always thought this song was about my personal story. I've had a highly strange, and fucking hard, but beautiful life. Ween has been one of my favourite bands of all time easily and this song always gives me shivers and tears. The beautiful struggle. I think I'm one the Gardeners, here on purpose. It hasn't been easy, but I did it. Earth is truly unique, and necessary. I don't really mind what anyone thinks of what I'm writing, just having a moment.

I meant that I like Ween as the great songwriters that they were. To see them at Red Rocks now would make me feel like they are a touring band living in nostalgia. I have seen Ween shows since the early 90's. My personal Ween experience is the amazing songwriting on the albums that was put out over the years. Ween doesn't play the Argus live very often. Songs like the Argus is why I put Ween on a pedestal with the Beatles. Their studio music music is so fucking good and I want to remember my heroes in their prime.
