I'm sorry but I'm going to have to agree, this whole thing reads as arrogant, high & mighty, ungrateful & disappointing. Don't expect a thank you from me or most of my peers that you should have "asked" and "listened to" and "catered to" in the first place, before this ridiculous controversy ever came up. I'm glad it's back in print but you've still got a long long way to go. I won't claim to have all of the answers but I certainly hope you all figure it out before you botch it all up again. Good Luck.
I got news for you Mark, I started going to concerts at the age of 5 (Stray Cats & Belmont Playboys at a Fox After 5 Parking Deck party). My first club show was at age 12 (New Bomb Turks & The Neckbones at Tremont Music Hall June 1997) and I have been hooked ever since. I started my first band at age 15 (summer of '00) and have been gigging ever since including a couple of short tours with Andy The DoorBum, Appalucia, Hectagons & others. I AM NOT JUST A MUSICIAN, I am a live music fan, I was a live music fan before I ever set foot on a stage to play and that New Bomb Turks that I went to in '97 was one I read about in the Creative Loafing soundboard and asked my Dad to take me to. I do not look at the soundboard just to insure that my band or my venue's events are listed, I also look to see what music that I am going to go see that week. I work for the Milestone and have been previously employed by Tremont Music Hall, Snug Harbor & others in addition to being an independent promoter all throughout my high school years. The fact is musicians, artists, service industry employees, dancers, actors, bankers, producers, directors, CEOs, janitors, fry-cooks, bus boys, etc. ARE ALL among your readers and it matters what ALL OF US have to say. Quit wasting time and put the soundboard back in the paper. It's important. It matters. It's necessary.
