Ween's SchemeLOCATION: College , Oshkosh, WIYEAR: 1995TAGS: college musicPUBLISHED: March 10, 2008Â Somehow, a friend of mine got a hold of a Ween CD called Chocolate and Cheese. He played it over and over, and I found myself liking a lot of the tunes, despite their raunchy and sometimes sick overtones. "AIDS/HIV" was one of these tracks that made fun out of such a serious subject. Or did it? Maybe it was put on the album not to make fun but instead to show society's lacksadaisical attitude is towards these two diseases. I mean, AIDS is notthe scarefest that it used to be when it was discovered in the early 1980's. Now it's as if it doesn't exist anymore, and yet, it does. It is very serious and needs as much research and attention as it did 20 years ago. As far as I have heard, no cure exists so far. Other tracks such as "Mr.Won't You Please Help My Pony" and the cowboy-ish "Stranger in the Dark" display Gene and Dean Ween's comedic vocal skills, while "Freedom of '76" and "What Diener was Talking About" show their talented vocal versatilities that inflect the styles of past greats such as George Harrison(whose sound I think "Diener" emulates). I am partial to "Baby Bitch," since I have a friend who could have written it word for word and it sounds eerily familiar to our old band's sound of two harmonizing voices, a guitar and simply honest lyrics. That's what I look for in music, great harmonies, and honest, earnest beautiful sound. Â
