If Flex says he wasn't there withhis DMB shirt on he's lying.
Y'know, I can't imagine ever enjoying a band that calls themselves Umphrey's McGee. I appreciate that they chose a name that let me know that well in advance.
So true and when a person says hey you wanna go to an Umphrey McGees show or similar you know to murder them and bury them in a shallow grave. *

* Im not actually endorsing murder but come on.

I honestly had someone tell me they were going to see them and I cut off communication with them.

They got off lightly.

What the hell is Umphrey McGee?
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

A disease that medical science has chosen not to research because people who get it should have known better.

In the 1990s, old white racist Canadian hockey dicks made war crime dance videos.

Whne I first saw that headline I assumed it was a Hard Times gag, but now that I think of it if I was a successful rock artist I'd probably try to parlay that into fronting Minor Threat too

It is not a band name that encourages curiosity. It sounds like a focus group-generated band name.
