My August 8 post about the Josephine Collective’s reaction – well, at least one member’s MySpace-aired disgruntlement – to not winning an opening slot at the 96.5 the Buzz Beach Ball 3 concert has generated a shitstorm of comments. All of the name-calling, scene-bashing and misspelled-opinion-spewing that occurred both in Josephine’s defense and at its expense inspired one reader (who asked to be identified as Aaron August) to parody the Johnson County band in comic strip form.
"Tale of a True Rock ‘n’ Roll Band," which I received via MySpace mail yesterday, contains a few misspellings and grammatical errors of its own, as well as a few below-the-belt stabs at individual members of the band. (The Brokeback Mountain potshot taken at bass player and nice guy Colby Michael Logback is especially low.) But there’s a bit of genuine humor in there, too. Maybe Josephine singer Dillon Teague Devoe will see that, if he's able to stop taking himself so seriously for about 30 seconds. -- Crystal K. Wiebe

Ok, so I have no idea what the hell these comics were supposed to mean. Or how to even fucken read them.
And wow...the person who posted before me...lmao. He's famous. Of course he flirts with everyone. Well, not exactly everyone. I mean...I was at a show last night with two of my friends and we hung out with Dillon for like 10 minutes and got pics and stuff. I was the only one he was really talking to and in my pic he gave me the biggest hug ever. Hah. But my point is you shouldn't be so jealous...and you can still be in live with him. Although a ton of other girls are too.
Ok...end of rant.
so i thought i was in love with dillon teague devoe...but it turns out i'm not. he's a concieted fucker who flirts with everyone...i thought i maybe had a chance..i was wrong

There are some serious copyright laws crossed with plagiarizing those photos.
I'm a journalist, and 'The Pitch' aka- 'The Bitch' needs to learn the industry.
Matter of fact, they did write a song with Benji from Good Charlotte a couple months ago when they were completing their CD...
It's called Salvation and it's a Great song. I guarantee it's a "MONEY maker"
--------------------------------------------------
Good Charlotte fucking sucks,
Seriously, All of that shit is exactly the same and produced to the standards of pop music all around the world.
Ten bucks says they put it out after they realize that they arent making any money with there other stuff.
Bashing on your own local scene is pathetic, expecially when you say things like "kc doesnt deserve or appreciate josephine"
Of course they don't
hopefully the used tour goes well, because the stuff is tired out around KC
Instead of bitching about stuff that sounds like every radio band that "warped tour" used to be against (but now is just a money sucking whore of a concert fest)
check out better local acts like Carmine Red or The Appleseed Cast
"I am all about humor and busting balls, but the one thing that pisses me off is this B.S. about "not writing their own songs."
EVERY single song has been written by the Band, period! Matter of fact, they did write a song with Benji from Good Charlotte a couple months ago when they were completing their CD...
It's called Salvation and it's a Great song. I guarantee it's a MONEY maker, I'm begging them to release it...But they refuse to put it on the upcoming CD because it's not their sound and it's not "them"..."
LOLOLOLOLOL ur a dork
i think its funnier that you have to type 'mustang' in the box below than the comic itself though

I dont think Josephine needs a couple people posting on a blog to defend them.
The fact that Dillon things its funny is really all that matters
It shows he can take a joke
but whatever makes you happy, keep getting heated up over a internet comic
Hey Crystal,
Thanks soooooo much for the continued free JoCo Pub, that's awesome! Get signed by Warner, get no mention, bash the aged and they get 4 days of press, sweet!!!
BTW, I noticed in the issue before last you had the Pitch Music Awards...
Best band - Architects
Best Singer - Architects
Best Show - Architects
Best New Band - Architects Lite (Sex Police something, just remember it's 3 members of you guessed it, the Architects)
Band Member Dating Crystal Wiebe - Guitarist for the Architects.
No idea where these kids could perceive that the Pitch scene is old and tired given the above diversity...However, as kids that was soooo two weeks ago and today they are doing sound checks with The Used in Orlando.
I did appreciate Meagans' article from November 23, 2006 where she said
"Ten years ago, the under-21 musical landscape wasn't anything like it is now. Instead of kids checking out screamo bands with melodramatic names like To Kill Me So That I Might Bleed in fly-by-night venues resembling abandoned warehouses, yesterday's punk and ska acts filled legitimate all-ages clubs..."
Weren't you busting on JoCo for disparaging today's "scene"? So Megan gets a free pass because she write for the Pitch??
Or is it that "old school" mentality that has you guys sitting around lamenting about how back in the day everything was better??
woww
lol josephine is amazing. . . they're by far my favorite band. . . and i'm wearing their t-shirt right now in fact. . . .. hahh you're gay.
josephine is just doing what they love, making music. you either like it or you dont, but either way its no reason to make fun of them.
whoever took that much time to make that stupid thing needs a life...
Wow, take a fucking English class kid.Then you can learn reeeaaallll good-like. I R GRATE SPELER!
wow, how lame of you to take stabs at this amazing band. you probably have never even met them or let alone listened to their music even once. this is even lower than criticizing them for being upset about losing a contest they deserved to win. whoever made the comic strips obviously has no life if they have time to sit and make all those.
