"I love wine. It's all I drink; I don't like beer or liquor. I get a lot of s--- for it." --Brendan Benson

Ah, what a sad little commentary on days gone by. I can't tell you how many opening acts we sat through in the late '60's through the mid-80's, waiting for the big-name show to begin. But we were respectful, for the most part. And as a result, we got to hear "opening acts," like Melanie, John Prine, the Blasters, Mason Ruffner, David Linley, Billy Idol, even "solo acts" by members of Fleetwood Mac like Christine McVee--forgive my spelling errors--I don't have time to look them all up. But my point is this: Wildflowers often bloom before the the expensive Dahlias. How many groups started as "garage bands?" Give 'em a break--you (or your children) may be standing in line to see these groups one of these days. Sp if you're going to support the arts--support more than just the established artists. You may find diamonds in the rough (or at least as many metaphors as I've hidden in this post!) It's all about the music.

Today you see multi-million dollar careers go down the drain. I think Ross Perrot had the right idea about taking the war to the streets. Who would think the a line or two, a stick in the arm, or smoke it would bring a once mighty nation to its demise.

Still, they cruise the city parks for more than simple recreation. Tell Senator Craig we said hello.
