I\'ve mentally turned the corner today. I\'m looking forward to seeing the last five setlists/hearing the downloads, seeing off Ron in a positive light, and then hearing what this change will bring. Tim and Adrian are so goddamn good. Matt is very good and has pushed experimentation. My worries are fading. I\'m expecting something fresh and explosive come the new year.
I\'m thinking about the last few times I\'ve seen the band. In Chicago I remember actually saying that Ron didn\'t look into it without any knowledge of this. Madison he stepped up but still seemed distant. FF9 there was a moment where Tim held his arms up and stared at Ron to do the same after Ron told Tim onstage he didn\'t know what to do with a jam (anyone remember what I\'m talking about more specifically?) and the whole scene seemed a bit awkward. I remember Ron bouncing immediately after the show too with a tag of permanent exit in his demeanor. Things are changing for a reason. It\'s not god, it\'s people. This month is going to be strangely exciting. January even more so.
