When you’re young, you think being in a band like Ween would be the best thing ever: playing music, cracking up, all the drugs you could ever want.
Later in life, you’re glad you weren’t in Ween because it probably would have destroyed you, and when you have the opportunity to see Gene do a solo gig you’re mostly just happy that he’s survived, because there are really only a couple of drug superheroes, and everybody else gets the short end of the stick sooner or later.
Papa Gene’s had a really fucking rough road of it these last five years or so, and it’s awesome to have him back.
We love you, Gener. Thanks a billions for rocking “Puffy Cloud!”
Stay alive!
