See, I heard about this at KISW last week and I was like, “Sure, whatever… its just a rumor and why should I care if they get back together… its for the money if they reunite”
But that series of thoughts left me feeling a bit uneasy…
Had I really become SO JADED that i poo poo one of my grunge icon bands…
Had it come to this…
Was I now a Seattlite?
Had I truly removed myself from the coveted mania of being fanatic and restructured into the bitter shade of critic?
Was I being judgmental of the band name… or by the influence of other cynical Seattlites?
I choose to be a Fan on this subject…
Why,
I get to remember what it was like to be a fan, not a judge and jury…
Hey, I’m a Seattleite, and I was a huge Soundgarden fan back in their heyday. I haven’tforgotten, but something about Chris Cornell just bugs me now. Plus, it’s not exactly like SG left us wanting more.
It’s the same thing with Smashing Pumpkins: sure I loved them fifteen years ago, but the incredible asshat that is Billy Corgan precludes any excitement I might get from this “reunion”. I’d rather spy on Kim Thayil playing ping-pong at the Roanoke Tavern.

Is the hell freezing over thing in reference to Morales finally posting?
Are they opening the Soundgarden in Discovery Park again? Sweet! I LOVE that installation. Can’t wait!
