If only they'd play what I want...
One of my favorite bands of all time is playing this Friday.
It's a shame that I've seen Cracker at least 4 times already in my life, and every single time they've let me down by playing NONE of my favorite songs of theirs. To the point where I am no longer even remotely interested in seeing them play live. The crowd will demand they play all their "radio" songs (Low, Teen Angst, Eurotrash Girl, etc) which is fine and dandy, but there isn't a snowball's chance in hell they'll play Another Song About The Rain, The Loser, Dixie Babylon, and all my other favorites.
Why?
Because those are sad-bastard songs that makes people want to cry. Those are the sorts of songs that a band plays in a smoky little bar where there's nothing but trucker cowboys drowning their sorrows in round after round of whiskey. Which would be my dream-come-true Cracker concert, but will never ever happen.
Maybe I should form a Cracker cover band, and insist on only playing in dark smoky trucker dive bars.
