They should come to Rochester, NY. My fair city has been mentioned a handful of times already in the show. Most notably with the insane Taxidermist guy. Ward's Natual Science still exists!

This is definitely preferable the weird silent ones they've put out, but it does show why they try to turn down the crowd noise-- they go "wooo!" so many times, and for such flimsy reasons. Surprisingly, Gareth seems to get sick of it before Dave does.

Waaaaaaaaah! People are mean!

quote:

So, I'm going to reel in my interaction with fans of the Dollop. The vast majority of you are great. By far. There's just a group of complainers who are basically relentless.

Recently we did three weekends of shows in a row. 9 shows in three weeks. Tons of writing, tons of travel. That's a shitload of work. So much so that I was exhausted to the point my body was aching.

While the episodes we uploaded were well received, holy poo poo some people just can't stop themselves. Emails, facebook messages, tweets, about how much they don't like the live episodes. It's just tedious to put in that much work and then have a bunch of people give us poo poo.

I'm not a fan of live albums by bands. So I don't listen to them. What I don't do is write to the band and tell them that.

Anyway, I've sort of reached a breaking point now with complaints. If it's not this it's something else. I'm just going to not read much as far as messages here and I won't be looking at comments. Same goes for Twitter. Emails I will read once a week.

Sorry. I obviously appreciate all of you who are normal and supportive.

Same. He says what 99% of his colleagues would say if they weren’t terrified of the consequences. Dave’s experienced enough to know that the kind of person who gets mad about an entertainer they don’t pay watching out for his mental health isn’t the type of “fan” to coddle.

I think it's more the fact that it's the most Dave Anthony thing to do to leave in a visible huff with a screed instead of just quietly stopping the interaction and ignoring these kind of people. The kind of people he's calling out aren't going to have their behavior changed by a post like this.

That said, it's still absolutely understandable he feels this way. Fandoms (all fandoms) are the worst, and I hope doing this makes them both feel better about continue to do and enjoy the show.

Nope, I like the live shows just fine and have never complained about the sound quality. But Dave’s just the sort of guy who puts on a big show of being a tough guy who gives no fucks but who throws big dramatic tantrums when things don’t go his way. I can’t imagine that the number of complainers compared to the number of weekly downloads was significant. Just ignore them and go to sleep on your pile of Talkspace money.

Right but if he just ghosted all his normal, well-adjusted fans without saying what's up that would be a dick move too. Best to give folk a heads up.

It's also a bit weird to get annoyed about someone being rightly peeved about getting moaned at relentlessly, you get that the dude has his own inner life and isn't obligated to take people's poo poo without rancour, right?

It is the most Dave Anthony thing to do - but it's also the decent thing to let the non-jerkasses know "hey, I'm not ignoring this place because fame has gotten to me and I'm too big for my proverbial britches, it's just all the jerkasses are bringing me down, man." That's how you keep non-jerkasses from thinking you're an entitled twat and becoming jerkasses about it.

Heads up: The Netflix documentary series "Wild Wild Country" covers Acharya Rajneesh from Episode 22 (the Indian sex cult that tried to poison people with salmonella and bussed in homeless people to sway elections). Haven't watched it yet but heard good reviews.
