Last time I went to LA, I saw the Los Feliz street festival. It wasn't about Pay-to-play heavy metal bands on the Hollywood strip. It was about a berjillion tattooed Stooges and Social Distortion fanatics.

There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
Actually, I think LA is the most rock and roll city in the country right now. You can make a case for Detroit though, too.
I thought it was supposed to be Austin?

Like I said, I think Austin is more about blues and songwriting and live performance.
I've been reading the John Peel obits collected on Sasha Frere-Jones website and they're so moving. What a well-loved man, and a well-spent life.

And my take is all opinion based on an impression.

So 90s.

There's really not too much blues here these days, outside of the Usual White Underbiter guys you can find in most towns. Austin's more of a honky-tonk town with a thriving indierock scene.

Heh. Is this in reference to the face they make whilst soloing?

Dallas has a really decent blues scene these days.
