"I listened yesterday. It's no reflection on you but I could'nt see where you were going or what you were going for. This early seventies thing did'nt get noticed the first time and you talk about friends of like Dealney and Bonnie who had records out like we're supposed to remember who they are. Then you play this long winded free jazz stuff that really grates on my nerves. And that noise without a beat and sounds like someones being pinched. Then you play a reggae song, I think you called it Dub, to what, be cool? You seem to really fetishize the whole folk thing too which is obnoxious to us who don't even care. I liked it when you played that punk song though. I like Joe Belock a lot." (Visit homepage.)

@cash: The official club closed in the 1980s. What exists now is a supper club. Also, before 1984, the drinking age was 19; was raised to 21 in 1984. When the drinking age was lower, all kinds of cool clubs in NYC and surrounding areas existed. Pretty much any of the storied punk and new wave clubs of the 1970s and 1980s would not have existed with a higher drinking age. 1984 comes and clubs close and bands don’t have places to go. |
