Despising the Disrespect

Here are some tour dates for 3/4ths of Smashing Pumpkins:

August 11, 2018 Columbus, OH Schottenstein Center
August 13, 2018 Chicago, IL United Center - SOLD OUT
August 14, 2018 Chicago, IL United Center - On Sale Mon Mar 5
August 16, 2018 Kansas City, MO Sprint Center
August 17, 2018 Indianapolis, IN Bankers Life Fieldhouse
August 19, 2018 St. Paul, MN Xcel Energy Center
August 20, 2018 Omaha, NE CenturyLink Center
August 21, 2018 Sioux Falls, SD Denny Sanford Premier Center

It's the disrespect I despise. A band will play to the east, the south, the east, the north, the west, and northwest of Iowa, but don't play IN Iowa.They could have easily added August 14, 2018, as a date in Des Moines or Cedar Rapids (where they have played on another tour) or Iowa City - all three of which are actually on the way to their next concert in Kansas City, MO, but nope. It's bullshit.

All that said, when I bought that motherload of CDs from Mitch in Indy back in 11/2013, one of the binders was full of CDs by Smashing Pumpkins and I gave that binder away. I like "Bullet with Butterfly Wings," "Cherub Rock," and maybe a couple others.
