RTP-area local music and culture

["Jacques Shuzhu" <jacques.shuzhu AT gmail.com>]

as i find mself being drawn into the music scene of this city by the
musicians and music that have real quality to them.

this is frighteningly similar to when i back in my senior year of high
school, and had a great time going with this one girl, and going to te
prom, only to ralize, too late, that not only did i get the good
times, but a painful, lifelong reminder of what can happen when you
aren't careful.

it seems that, while I may not have gotten herpes from the chapel hill
music scene, i do find myself facing the negative, pervasive side
effects of bad attitudes and presumed superiority over others who
don't "appreciate" the small acts and rather crappy quality of
self-proclaimed wunderkids.

so, in a nutshell, thanks for the good times, and you can thank the
bad ones for pushing me, and others right out of this place.
