Bob Weston From Shellac Of North America Has No Opinion Of The Chicago White Sox

As previously mentioned, it's a surety that at least most of the gleefully-abstruse monstrously-menacing Chicago noise rock trio Shellac Of North America enjoy baseball.

Since bassist Bob Weston was kind enough to answer tenandfiveguys.com's initial question about the state of the Chicago Cubs on the first evening of Shellac's two night stint at the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco, during the second concert we undertook the logical step.

During the band's mid-set question-and-answer session, we asked Weston -- who on this night was sporting an excellent Err wristband -- his thoughts on Chicago's southside team:

Q: "What is your opinion of the White Sox?"

A: "Absolutely no opinion of the White Sox." [crowd hoots and applauds] "I like Ozzie Guillen though."

Yep, the "I-have-a-mouth-that-speaks-and-god-damn-it-will" Guillen certainly is enjoyable to watch as he manages the CWS club. At worst, with Oswaldo at the helm, ChiSox fans don't have to worry about being bored.

Speaking of which, has a single MLB city ever fielded as fiery a pair of managers as Chicago currently sports with Ozzie with the CWS and Sweet Lou Piniella at the CHC? We welcome your opinion in the Comments section.

As for Weston; regarding the White Sox, he has no opinion on them. Bob is a good sport, and we thank him for his lack of opinion. No opinion. Absolutely. Read More!

Bob Weston From Shellac Of North America Critiques The Current Chicago Cubs

Famously, Chicago's finest minimalist rock trio Shellac Of North America will hold question-and-answer sessions from the stage mid-concert while one band member or another finishes tuning their instrument.

Also famously, they once held to the claim that all of their songs were only about two subjects: baseball and Canada.

Shellac's guitarist/curmudgeon Steve Albini and bassist Bob Weston are known to be baseball enthusiasts. At press time it is not immediately clear whether the inhumanly-attuned drummer Todd Trainer is a fan.

So, at last night's concert at the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco, tenandfiveguys.com put the question to Weston as he stood resplendent before the audience in his Ignignokt wristband:

Q: "What is your opinion of the current Chicago Cubs?"

A: "They need to fucking hit."

Roger-that. As of today, the Cubbies sport the fourth-worst batting average in the league at .244.

Though they will not be in the Bay Area long enough to go to a game, Weston told us after the show that Shellac will be attending the upcoming Dodgers vs Angels series in Anaheim as their tour takes them southbound. Read More!
