Hmmmmmn... Reba, Slave, or Antelope

Any idea if folks have heard about single day tix yet? I know some folks who landed 3-day passes, but I don't know anyone who was told they either got or didn't get single day tix as yet.

This plays out so much in the political realm now too: people's actual wants get routinely subordinated to manufactured wants.

You can't say consumption shows people don't like going to movies without acknowledging that those patterns are learned, not innate, and often don't track actual desire.

I mean... they're a jamband, and some people see them instead of just taking their Adderall or something.

I think I agree with you.

Gonna throw one more at ya that's probably not a jamband but has been pretty heartily embraced by the community: KGLW

I agree Dead & Co have enough original Dead members that they're a (pale) extension of the original rather than a cover band.

I think JRAD beats out Cosmic Country and Dogs for popularity and goes enough beyond pure cover band to include, but I get going the other way. Whereas DSO is *cover* cover.

JRAD?

(Going with Semi-Charmed Life, The Distance, and Flagpole Sitta as songs that actually do play enough of a role in '90s alt rock as to be at least plausibly essential.)

I would argue 3 of these are legit '90s alternative essentials, 2 are pleasant '90s rock songs that got lumped in as alternative for lack of a better label, 1 is a banger sorta punk song that surprisingly got airplay, 1's a crossover jamband song, and the other 2 exist.

I like laid, but I'd hardly call Bush or Sugar Ray "essential" to the '90s.

Blues Traveler was at least essential to, uh, 1994. Or maybe just hard to miss.

I haven't watched that in years but I recall it being a very sweaty movie.

For what it's worth, I'm fine however this comes out. I prefer my framing because it sets a clear date cut-off which would be useful making determinations for other albums with similar issues in the early 2000s without needing similar deliberation. But if more folks lean 2001... cool.

That's really what clarified it for me. It seems like a legit slippery slope type of situation, but I think in this case, there's arguably a fairly easy to pinpoint date. (But also I get that not everyone will agree with that!)
