Scenes come and go wherever you live. Fort Wayne is small, but there are a lot of loyal people out there who have made the scene great. It's too bad some people lose faith in Fort Wayne and they move in hopes of being spoiled by a big city. I guess the scene is always better somewhere else. It's easy being spoiled by a big city, there's a bigger pool of people to make a scene happen. It's not the city, it's what you do in your city to make it better. Contribute! Don't just be a spectator.
I can't enjoy this song when I live in Fort Lame and feel nothing that Frank Black describes in this song towards the city. Thank God I'm moving come winter.
Ya same, devil's work shop, show me your tears, seven fingers, blue finger had some good tunes, but the rest of his albums were overall not comparable to Teenager of the year or Frank Black.
May I suggest ,,to the FT Wayne .kids.. a song By Fb... called San Antonio. ( TX ) .......a masterpiece... so thankfully... FB has written about his experience's out there on the road.. and therefore.. he has mentioned your crappy little town ! ( tongue in cheek ) :) ROCK !!
Also, I've been to A LOT of shows in Ft. Wayne, and "the kids" are NEVER "swaying to the rock n roll beat." This town is as dead as Princess Di, and its lifeless citizens make sure to clearly illustrate that at EVERY show. There hasn't been a GOOD Ft. Wayne crowd since The Back Door closed down...
god dammit. you are to coplicated when it comes to entertainment. i am amused by simple things and you know what it fucking rocks because i dont have to be picky. seriously you outta lighten up and try to give being easily amused a shot cause you obviously arent
i'm going to try and make sense of that post?? it...well it had english words in it, anyway. hey man, i'm really glad you're so easily amused. you kind of HAVE TO BE to live in a creative black hole like ft. wayne. so awesome, dude, you keep being easily amused and i'll keep having....some form of standards.
well have "fun" (thats probably a hard word for you to grasp seeing as you probably have never had it) with your boring as life that isnt pleased by anything. you probably lived in the damn ghetto of fort wayne didn't you?
i lived all over ft. wayne. but thanks for showing your complete lack of depth of thought in your post. reminds me why i left ft. wayne. a bunch of close-minded, know-nothing blowhards all packed into one place. worst city on earth. spent more than 20 miserable years there and i won't ever come back. you enjoy your sub-par scene with your redneck wannabe-indie kids and i'll enjoy living in a place that actually has a REAL scene that ft. wayne couldn't even emulate. have a good one!
"i wont ever come back" so your still in ft. wayne i see, because the way you said implies that you are still there. the correct way to say it would be "i wont ever go back". i can already tell your life. you had no friends growin up therefore never hung out with friends in any fun places, you were a social outcast in high school and as consolation you went to the back door to try and get friends. now you have a nice job in a good city but still is a fun sucker cause no one taught you otherwise
LOL dude....you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. hilarious how many generalizations you make without actually knowing anything. i won't ever come back and i won't ever go back MEAN THE SAME THING you god damn simpleton! LOL, you're truly pathetic. no, i don't live in ft. wayne anymore. but honestly, i couldn't give a shit less about impressing some guy with a room-temperature IQ from a city that isn't worthy to lick the dogshit off my shoes.
u trooly amaz me wit ur stoopidit e! thats pure bullshit, "i wont come back" means that you are already THERE. when you say "i wont go back" means that you are SOMEWHERE ELSE. well i guess i was wrong about 2 things: you aren't as smart as i thought you were and your job suck dick because you wallow around in DOGSHIT all the time. and i know i am right about the social outcast because you are trying to defend yourself to hard.
....dude....really??? this is your response?? PATHETIC. TRY HARDER. i'll give you another shot to feebly try and flame me. are you drunk??? you can't spell or even create a complete sentence. and you're arguing about....where i live now??? really??? dude....GET A LIFE. i mean, i know how hard it is to get one in ft. waste but really....you're fucking pathetic dude. seriously....TRY AGAIN. i'm giving you the idiot's freebie.
you were right about ONE thing though. i have a good job in a MUCH better city - los angeles. of course, a wide-eyed midwest redneck like you wouldn't be able to hang out here, pal. so you enjoy mediocre-ville. you enjoy being easily amused. dear god, the only fuckers on earth that would be PROUD of their mediocrity are people from ft. wayne. i sincerely hope you get out and visit somewhere else someday. broaden those narrow horizons.
hey man, i don't blame you. i really don't. you get so god damned bored in ft. waste that the only thing you can do is pick fights online and make random insults to someone you don't know anything about. it's all good man. i'm not mad at you. i pity you.
and i'm pleased by a lot of things. like not living in that creative black hole anymore. you enjoy your HONESTLY boring ass life in the most boring ass town in the world. salute, bro.
not saying anything against this band or anything. just the shithole that is ft. wayne. go start a cover band, since that's the only way to get a gig there. i haven't missed that shitty stupid town for a second. but hey man, you enjoy it!
@ToriiHunterFan HOLY Shit! How's it going in L.A.? You settled down ? I inadverdetely came across this thread and had no idea of all the crap that you put on here.. I listened to the song for the 1st time in a year. I'm drunk, I was talking about Tori Amos, and I was born in Torrance, CA., but now live in Bluffton, unfortunately. No harm intended. I will be very surprised if you get this.
@guitpik - honestly man, i have no idea what's even going on here. don't recall encountering you. i notice this is a song about ft. wayne. i imagine i talked tremendous amounts of shit regarding it. i imagine you had something good or bad to say about it. don't really feel like re-hashing it all though. things are good out here? i guess? work is becoming scarce. not much better out there though. funny. i lived in bluffton for 10 years. the short stop gas station still there?
@ToriiHunterFan The internet has a much better memory than I do. The short stop is still there, within a mile of a super Walmart. Every other gas station in a 2 mile radius has ceased to exist. Anyway, Good song! Power to you, Buddy!
@guitpik - wow! i remember that gas station from when i was a little kid (i moved to ft. wayne when i was 12). amazing. good for them, sticking around through it all. i remember hope missionary church just down the road from it and the t-ball diamond at the other end of town. good old bluffton. crazy!
@ToriiHunterFan The internet has a much better memory than I do. The short stop is still there, less than a mile from a super walmart. Every other gas station within a 2 mile radius has ceased to exist. Anyway, Good song! Power to you, buddy!
Exactly! ...who's Tori? nothing to do with K. Bush, is it? i am getting drunk and am very, very old. money=inspiration. You sound like Margaret from "mash"
LOL dude I have no idea what you're talking about. Torii Hunter is an ex-Wizard who is now a kick-ass major league ballplayer. And I don't ever go out in Ft. Wayne, so I don't know who the people are that you're referring to. I'm allergic to stupidity, so I stay inside.
The "la's" in this really remind me of River Euphrates
