| Jimmy Eat World – Big Casino Lyrics | 18 years ago |

I completely disagree with the assesments that JEW is quiting after this album. People like Jimmy and Davey von Bohlen *close friends that collobarated on "A Praise Chorus"* (see promise ring, maritime, etc) have an addicition, you could say, for making music and song writing. Secondly, I saw JEW in Austin, TX on the mini-tour and I have to agree with other critics *see website* that it is probably one of their best tours especially because that pulled off some rarity songs extremely well. Lastly, I agree with past comments that this song's meaning plays to JEW's tendency to play/write songs that are a kind of populist approach to music that are based on fan appreciation. That is to say, songs like "Big Casino," "Sweetness," and "New Aesthetic" are meant to bring down the house when played live; leaving the fans to say "wow these guys went the extra mile to create a song that goes beyond some vague universal meaning and kind of give us a shout out for our support as fans." |
