What? Strip malls are the coolest and most rockin places in the world.
Where else can you walk around, have stuff going on, go out for
dinner, grab a drink, run into other people and, if we started a rock
club, go see a show. There are tons of killer bands that play in strip
malls all across America. Plus, I don't know if you frequent the
Orange/Chatham county line, but that is were all the REAL stuff is
going on. Maybe you should try a mobile home show sometime, then maybe
you will see what the future of cutting edge rock is really like.
