I was really stoked about seeing these guys play.  I had their album, Scenery and Fish and thought it was amazing.  3rd on the bill to the Tea Party and Our Lady Peace, my personal thoughts were that they shoulda been upped a notch... maybe even two.  Finger Eleven opened the show but I didn't even know who they were at the time!!  Hindsight is always 20/20, so I'm not gonna dwell on the fact that I didn't get to shoot them, who, by the way, blow ALL these fuckers off the stage.  So I Mother Earth comes out, rocks our world, and then announces their singer is leaving.  Great.  Another case of "creative differences" I'm sure.  Another case of the singer wanting to "do his own thing"... Fuckin bullshit.  99 times out of 100 the band AND the singer crashes miserably trying to rebuild what they had.  

I figured within months, Edwin would be bagging groceries at Quick-E-Mart for Apoo. "That Pogo Stick is coming out of your paycheck Edwin", says Apoo with that great East Indian accent as Edwin sheepishly cowers in the corner savouring every bite of his daily meal during his 15 minute break.  Despite my evil fantasy, Edwin came out with a pretty successful album but just like David Lee Roth, couldn't keep it going and augered in shortly thereafter.  For his own sake, I really hope he either puts out an amazing album that gets him back on top or just rejoins I Mother Earth cuz frankly, Ed without IME and IME without Ed just aint the same.

What the fuck is he doing now?  And would you like FRIES with that McFuckin Burger?
