After deciding I felt like it not long ago, I bought Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness and listened to it in it's entierty for the first time in probably three years. Nearly every song brought me back to something that happened in school. An ex gf once told me the song "Thru the Eyes of Ruby" reminded her of us, and when it came on I cried like a baby. I should probably go put an earring in my right ear. I like disc two better.
You guys are too hard on Billy Gunn. He becomes Mr. Ass euphemistically as well as literally and everybody accepts it, but he wasn't that bad. And he was over in short bursts.
Those were indeed real, however a good portion of the populace wasn't around back then or have simply forgotten. Also that was several years ago and I look quite different these days.
I think that comedy is not subjective at all. If I don't think something is funny, it isn't, and I have the right to say so. If anyone thinks it is, they are wrong, and stupid.
Well, he did say ass immediately after that "BUTT" thing. And Ice Cube ghostwrote most of that stuff anyway. But I agree with you, Eazy ain't much to write home about. I kind of dig his nasally whine, though.
