Right on. And it's a lot harder to go to a show than it is to listen
to a band on the internet. Supporting the local music scene means
supporting the local clubs just as much as it means supporting local
bands, because without them, where are the local bands supposed to
play? For that matter, where are the lesser-known (but no less
relevant) out-of-town bands supposed to play? Independent live music
is dying enough as it is without the Indy driving another tiny stake
through its heart. CAC
