You pretty much sum up the reason why it's so hard for me to meet anyone.  I go through phases of being single for periods of time.  During that time, I meet girls, go on dates, and then don't talk to them again.  Most girls for me don't make it past the first date.  I can be very talkative and very fun, but when we have nothing in common and their biggest concern is reality television or uninteresting celebrities, I don't have anything to say.  I found a girl now who I get along with who is interesting and fun, but who knows.  We've already dated and broke up once.

Now this is a true story:

I went on a date over a year ago with some asian girl I thought was cute.  I take her out bowling, and to a nice dinner.  During dinner, she decides to tell me that the earth is only 6000 years old, dinosaurs are made up by scientists to convert people to Atheism.... what the fuck do I say to that?  I got up and walked out.  I had NOTHING to say to that.

Why play to half empty stadiums? 

Though it would be WONDERFUL to get a Chinese Democracy tour in the states.... since it would be the first CD tour with CD being out in the states. 

Also because only an act of God could stop me from seeing them this time, which is just about what happened last time.

Good point.  I guess when these songs were worked on over two decades ago it can become difficult to remember exactly where they originated from. 

We obviously have way less than perfect information on this.  No mention whatsoever about what the second disk is.  And there are 4 different versions of it?  Three deluxe ones and a regular? 

The Guitar Hero packaging is a wonderful idea to bring Soundgarden back to the masses.
