The Affectionate Parodies and Ironic Diss-Positions of Ween

Ah, Ween. Nice complimentary article, it has made the wait for their new album at the end of the month take even longer.

The cross-over appeal of Ween is also something to marvel at. My cousin, an avid hater of indie rock and jam music, finally sat through their country album one day and immediately bought a copy. He has said several times it is one of the best country album he has ever had. He still complains that they need to make another one someday.

Thanks for the nice article. Ween have been one of my favorites for quite some time now. I believe the song you referred to as “Monique the Funk” is actually called “Monique the Freak.” Just wanted to point that out.

Cheers.

1.12 Golden Country Greats is named for the 12 country artists they worked with. Basic knowledge. The slightest research would reveal this.

2.They don’t like Zappa nor are they concerned about following in his legacy.

3.Cliche’ after cliche’ after cliche’.

I hope you didn’t get paid for this.

Ryan needs to take a chill pill.

1 - The contention surrounding the name of the album has yet to be resolved. What you have stated is just one theory. The other being that there were originally 12 songs on it.

2 - Just coz they say they don’t like Zappa doesn’t mean that they are not like Zappa. I personally think they are rather similar.

3 - I think you should stop getting angry and just indulge in this informative celebration of Ween. Ur obviously a big fan. Rock on fuckers!!
