It looks like the recent elections finally brought in some people with a cortex in their collective skull. Who gives a crap about Austin Music Network? When they're not running a 3rd rate special about Peter Murphy, it's a showcase for all of the crappy white-boy blues bands a la Stevie Ray "Holy-Shit, Man!-I'm-Dead!" Vaughn. I hope Clifford Antone's fat lethargic ass gets thrown in the pen for a few decades - that might teach that bloated pig a thing or two about decadent behavior. Hell, Austin just sucks. Buncha fuckin' old washed-up hippies that still think eeyore's birthday is "cool, man". I hope access dies. I hope barton springs gets poisoned and all of the stupid salamanders die. Fuck ACTV.
