Reznor fires back at Sun-Times

In response to the poor show review penned by Jim Derogatis of the Chicago Sun-Times several days ago, as an introduction to the encore songs, Reznor spoke to the crowd at the second Chicago show at the UIC Pavilion lastnight:
"...we like to keep plenty of copies of the Chicago Sun-Times on the bus in case we need to wipe our asses, and I noticed that they decided we were 'unfashionable', and that it's very 'unfashionable' and dated to not fit in or feel unhappy in the year 2000 where everything is ok. Well if 'fashionable' is what they are playing on the radio, I'm happy to not fit in. So I'd like to play some more 'unfashionable' music for you 'unfashionable' people ...
:) And with that, he proceeded on to The Day The World Went Away. Thanks for sending that bit in, Michael
