Probably because I just don't care. Guys like Jerry and Rick, however, I wish they could get a good home base for their shows and more cheddar for their efforts. I feel like the'd have to do like 5 times more work (flier, network media/online, handbill, all that promo routine shit) just to break even, and that's not worth it over the years/decades ...<br /><br />NMAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7694733.post-27270462464300692892012-01-18T14:26:20.337-08:002012-01-18T14:26:20.337-08:00We're all free to be as creative as we want in...We're all free to be as creative as we want in this city, as long as it's underground and no one gets paid for it.

Instead a consortium of the "creative class" have come together to organize Play Big Sacramento! SO BIG! <br /><br />I think we can all agree that the one thing that has long held Sacramento back is a lack of BIG thinking and buzz words.<br /><br />Sigh....Liv Moehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17748816998076616109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7694733.post-57658770085680446892012-01-18T13:06:34.914-08:002012-01-18T13:06:34.914-08:00On second thought, I might be mixing that up with ...On second thought, I might be mixing that up with the B&S song "Voisin, You Look You Slept in the Clothes You're Wearing".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7694733.post-834389695656349602012-01-18T12:59:11.808-08:002012-01-18T12:59:11.808-08:00Didn't Belle and Sebastian cover "Breton...Didn't Belle and Sebastian cover "Breton, You Must Be Joking" as a b-side?<br /><br />-DBAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7694733.post-12242996177072986172012-01-18T12:57:21.467-08:002012-01-18T12:57:21.467-08:00Defenestration would be a good name for a metal ba...Defenestration would be a good name for a metal band.<br /><br />-skprAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7694733.post-806190403739476732012-01-18T12:56:39.755-08:002012-01-18T12:56:39.755-08:00The utter obsession with thinking and doing someth...The utter obsession with thinking and doing something BIG is such a nasty case of reaction formation. <br /><br />The Maloofs told Sacramento, "Build a new arena -- or you pipsqueaks are going to end up in our rear view." The NBA cooled the rhetoric, but essentially said the same thing.<br /><br />This leaves community leaders with a pretty strong, if ugly, argument to put to the community: If we don't build it, they will leave.<br /><br />Yet nobody makes this argument. Instead, we're told that it is not about the Kings, the Maloofs or the NBA; it's really about a community spontaneously coming together to accomplish something monumental. <br /><br />In other words, nobody is threatening to castrate us; we're behaving slavishly to the interests of the Maloofs and the NBA because our dicks are BIG, and we can do BIG things with them.<br /><br />(I exaggerated the Freudian angle for humorous effect, but I hope you get my point that is about saving ego).<br /><br />--knowceboAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7694733.post-76610358853247817862012-01-18T12:52:53.049-08:002012-01-18T12:52:53.049-08:00'Breton, I'd like to Kick You Through a Pl...'Breton, I'd like to Kick You Through a Plate Glass Window' is my favorite song lately.<br /><br />He is absolutely the worst professional writer currently being published in this city, and he singlehandedly lowers the quality of print journalism in the region by several points. it takes a lot to make me angry, but Breton does it nearly every time he opens his mouth.<br /><br />-omfAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7694733.post-36727807603531443822012-01-18T12:39:21.275-08:002012-01-18T12:39:21.275-08:00Breton, You Must Be Joking sounds like it would be...Breton, You Must Be Joking sounds like it would be a great Smiths song.Codyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00256771600800472999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7694733.post-74559018291566512162012-01-18T12:21:42.827-08:002012-01-18T12:21:42.827-08:00Breton was joking, you're just too pessimistic...Breton was joking, you're just too pessimistic to get it.
