You Austinites don't know how good you have it

You probably take for granted what a cultural Mecca you live in sometimes, so here's a little contrast and compare for you

Here's the lineup for the Austin City Limits Festival. Now here's a list of the last few concerts in Kearney, Nebraska:

Bad Medicine
Nickelback
3 Doors Down
And coming soon...Digital Underground, Tone Loc, and Coolio! Wow, what a lineup! :eyes:

I'm in bad music hell.

1. Digital Underground?

Really, DU, that's badass!

[SweetZombieJesus]

2. Eh, I used to like them

But compared to a lot of the acts at the Austin City Limits Festival, they're rank amateurs.

I guess the White Stripes are playing in Denver on the 26th, but I'm far too poor to go, so that bums me out big time.

3. Get your ass down here!!

I'll be seeing some of the acts at after-festival shows. I didn't have the jack for a 3-day pass.

6. More than likely coming in March for SXSW

I'm definitely moving down there by 2005 at the latest.

8. Cool - let me know.

:hi:

4. Quick, what's the suicide rate in Kearney, Nebraska?

It's got to be high.

5. Probably

At least among those of us who are sentient creatures rather than mall-walking zombies.

It's pretty depressing here right now. The only good band in town broke up because the bass player moved to Minnesota, so that sucks too. Those guys were awesome garage rockers in the vein of Radio Birdman or The Saints, but with a bluesy edge to them.

7. Tone Loc?

TONE LOC?

You have my sympathies.

Man, I can see why you're saving up for a move to Austin -- I haven't even seen anything about that one-hit wonder playing Dayton and I thought we got the dregs of the dregs here!

[SweetZombieJesus]

9. Next week: The redneck comedy of Rodney Carrington!

He's like Jeff Foxworthy without the wit!

Please, shoot me now.

10. good grief

I take so much for granted. Have you been to Austin before?

[GOPisEvil]

11. Do you live here too?

If so, :hi:
