Friend of HU carapatricia has posted a number of YouTube videos of the recent Chicago shows. Included is this one, a bit of Chicago sports themed banter leading into Disarm from the “White Crosses” show at the Chicago Theatre.

Billy first predicts a victory in the Super Bowl for the Bears in 2012 thanks to Mike Ditka returning to the field. But not one to disappoint the assembled fans with strictly positive thoughts, Billy went on to blame his beloved Cubs disappointing post-season performance on Eddie Vedder’s bitterly ironically titled Cubs anthem “All the Way”, which debuted in September before the Cubs’ season collapsed.

If, if, if the Cubs did have a chance this last year that just passed, fucking Eddie Vedder killed that shit dead. Last I checked, Eddie ain’t living here. Eddie ain’t living here to write a song about my fucking team.

Personally, I blame Vedder’s turning “Wrigley” into three syllables to fit the song’s meter.

Never one to let an opportunity to display his hubris pass him by, Billy also boasted he could write a better Cubs-themed song than the longstanding “Go Cubs Go”, which was penned by the late Chicago folk artist Steve Goodman during the equally disappointing 1984 Cubs season. HU anxiously awaits Billy’s Cubs song and we also eagerly await Billy’s thoughts on the Bulls’ chances in the upcoming NBA season during the shows at the Auditorium Theater.
