That Sounds Like Somethin' You'd Say

What Star Tribune music critic Chris Riemenschneider said in yesterday's paper:

Whatever you believe to be the degree of destitution at Minneapolis' most legendary nightclub, nobody with a sense of culture beyond Fox-TV, Clear Channel radio and Applebee's restaurants wants to see the financially challenged venue close.

What our own JB Doubtless said in an August post calling for the closure of First Avenue:

I was discussing the eventual and long-overdue closing of First Avenue with someone the other day and after we both had a good laugh that it needed to happen, I proposed that ALL area live music clubs be shut down for a period ten years.

I can see a young couple going over the City Pages deciding on what to do on a Saturday night:

“Well” one says “We could head down to the Entry where a band called the Against are playing.”

“I’ve never heard of them, what are they like?”

“The paper says they are Emo-core, but with a Punkabilly soul and a smattering of ska”

“Umm, let’s just go to Bennigan’s and then catch a movie.”

When Bennigan’s announces that it may have to close it’s doors because no one eats there, we can go over the reasons all chain restaurants should be shuttered.


Hmmmm...
