This was a long time coming. "La Cucaracha" was a massive disappointment and anyone who said otherwise was deluding themselves. It's been five years and nothing, not a hint of new music. Meanwhile the band's been putting on shows, playing the same tired tunes over and over. I went to see them for the last time on the Cucaracha tour in Tucson. It was the same night that the city does a Day of the Dead parade down Congress Street and, well, sad to say but the parade was a lot more entertaining than Ween was that night. I tried to tell myself I'd just outgrown Ween, but I think the truth is Ween outgrew itself. I just saw a comment on the Ween forum I think about suns it up: "It is pretty hard to fathom that a grown man would want to shun a persona created in his early teens." No kidding. I'm in the process of trying to get on board with a federal contractor and it's a little tough to swallow that my unsavory activities of six or seven years ago could stand in my way. I don't get high and listen to Ween records anymore--I've got a family to think about--so why should I or anyone else expect Freeman to get high and write and perform them? To those of you who are new to Ween--sorry. The shows I saw back in the day were some truly great times. Wish I could have seen Pavement back in their heyday, but alas. Thanks for the music and the memories.

Mickey put up a website where people can ask him questions so they don't waste time with stupid poo poo on his fishing tours. I give it half a week.
