Yeah, Boston has certainly had trouble attracting big musical acts
Michael Femia says good-bye to Lansdowne Street and tries to contain his bile at the assertion that what the street really needs is a Kowloon of Music to attract real acts to Boston:
... Boy, it'll be nice to bring in some top-tier music acts for a change. Just think, all those times I've gone to Avalon or one of the other clubs, it was to see pikers like Morrissey, Beck, Tori Amos, Iron and Wine, Calexico, Liz Phair, Toad the Wet Sprocket, Frank Black, The Tragically Hip, and probably more that I've forgotten. Bring on Nickelback!
Michael obviously hasn't gotten the news that Lansdowne is not exactly seen as a hip, trendy place to visit, unless you are attending a Red Sox game.

Permission In Advance
If you EVER catch me worrying about whether the place I'm going is hip and trendy, put a bullet in my head. I couldn't be more serious on this matter.
Oh, right
Sorry, didn't mean to imply you were worrying about that; it was more a reaction to the other post.
No Worry
I know it wasn't directed at me, but I don't want anyone getting the wrong idea :)
