Thank God! 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.
