Skip Iowa? OK!!!

The Smashing Pumpkins are not on my list of bands I really want to see live. I like a short list of their tunes, such as "Bullet with Butterfly Wings" and "Cherub Rock" but beyond those two, I get into the "I really do not like this band" mode very quickly. Thus, when I scan this list of their upcoming tour dates, which I'm including here only as a means to show that, once again, bands skip playing in Iowa while not skipping Chicago, Kansas City, Omaha, & St. Paul (the Twin Cities), I'm not heartbroken by the fact that they did skip Iowa. The Smashing Pumpkins used to play at Gabes Oasis (I'm told) prior to 'making it big' on the national scene but there's no love for Iowa now. I guess I can also point out that their tour skips Milwaukee & St. Louis, which are the other two area cities that usually are included in the list of cities a band will play. Anyways, here's the tour dates and NO, I'm not going to Chicago, Kansas City, the Twin Cities, or Omaha to see them on this tour! Oh, by the way, I'm also not giving a rat's behind about the way the table looks, mainly because I don't care about the band.
