Went to lovely Bend, Oregon and saw Ween at the beginning of July. The sun was hot, the day was beautiful, and, apparently, Gene Ween is dying. I say this as more a casual fan of the band than many of the hippies, indie kids, frat boys, and Prius driving baby-boomers in attendance: Gene, please see a doctor. The guy looks like he weighs 100 lbs. Gene (Aaron Freeman) Ween's substance abuse issues are not exactly a secret, but just wanna say, Pop on Purpose is praying for you, bro.
What was a PLEASANT surprise was, though, was that the band kicked it OUT for the fans, as the set (no opening act, BTW) was three hours long, and I happily remembered and was easily able to sing along to several of the tunes, and not just the HIV song. Which they did play. A realy, really good time.
