The Gaslight Anthem - History Books (October 27th 2023) Album • Page 65

sean please think about the lives ruined by smoking addictions. think of the victims of people smoking tobacco and driving.

 

I had the same thought but knew where pat was aiming lol

 

anyway im now listening to this album and Little Fires would be even better if the Pup guy sang more than just the outro

 

Who did this

 

This got me looking at the setlists for his recent solo shows. Is there a reason he doesn’t seem to play anything from Sleepwalkers?

 

You did lol. If you don’t see how what you posted implied an alcohol addiction and not smoking than idk what to tell you. That’s why I asked you to clarify twice.

 

I think it's just because they don't work without full bands, same thing with Elsie songs

 

You lol

 

So what it's a bunch of Local Honey?

 

I really didn't. Someone said something like "hope him getting embarrassingly drunk isn't anything larger" and you guys acted like that was the worst thing anyone's ever said. I'm just saying it's not. I really have no damn horse in the game other than that.

 

Mostly Painkillers and Gaslight songs, plus a couple from Local Honey.

 

lol i meant external lives but yes carry on

 

yeah man everyone is reacting to what you, one person, said because we're all sooooo crazy. it can't possibly be that you were talking out of your ass.

 

When

 

Dude, come on. There’s no reasonable person in the world that would read this and assume you’re alluding to “he quit smoking.”

 

This is verging on the dumbest conversion I've ever had on this forum. I complained about the show. I never said shit about whether or not there's anything larger wrong with Brian. I am simply saying that to innocuously wish the best for someone (even if it's unnecessary or patronizing) isn't a worth a scolding and that it's common knowledge that people with addictive personalities often replace one addiction with another.

 

To be fair there's someone in another thread saying pointing out that something isn't true = supporting that person so it's all around just a very dumb time

 

i certainly agree this is the dumbest convo on this site but not for the reason you think lol

 

no one said you said anything about brian personally. i pointed out two things two other people said. and pointed out i wasn't talking to you. and then you said they were right and said that smoking is akin to alcohol addiction. are you having a stroke?

 

Absolutely did not do that

 

genuinely, are you okay?

 

It’s not that hard to just say “he wasn’t as good as usual, probably drunk, I regret buying a ticket” without extrapolating all this other info about someone you don’t know

 

So how about history books huh cool record

 

good, even
