Today
BC: Thank you very much, thank you. How’s everybody doing, you alright? We’d now like to play a song...before we go here, we’d like to play a song. This, uh, our newest single off our new record. Who actually here knows we have a new record? (decent cheer) Exactly. Proves my point. This is not a reunion tour, by the way. Hate to scare you. It’s not a reunion tour. We actually play new songs and write new material, give a fuck about what we do. We ain’t going away anytime soon. (crowd cheering) Thank you, heh heh.
That's the Way
