Indeed. The Brewery, which had an outstanding sound man and a great location, 
went under largely because of the booking. Kings and The Lincoln Theater 
picked up where The Brewery fell short.

Carrboro and Chapel Hill have many good venues for bands (main reason I moved 
here from Raleigh) and Durham is picking up steam again.

This area is just a musical place, whether it's in clubs or in someone's 
backyard. Or the guy who lives a few houses down from me who has a killer 
stereo in his car that we all get to enjoy every time he drives down the 
street. ;)

And I think lists like "Cities That Rock" are so highly subjective that it's 
hard to take them too seriously. Not that I have a problem with The Triangle 
(which is the term they should've used instead of RDU) being considered a 
rocking place, but it means about as much as, for example, the 100 Greatest 
Books Ever Written club that Easton Press has. Greatest according to whom?

Like they say, opinions are like assholes. Everybody has one.
