Oh, wait, in Texas they kill you for being retarded. No, wait, they elect you governor if you're retarded!

I wouldn't be surprised if the Texan proclivity for killing it's own citizens doesn't turn off most civilized humans.

Maybe it's because most of Texas is impossible to breathe in because of those frikkin' feed lots! Next time I drive across southwest Texas I'm taking a gas mask! Between Texans' love of the death penalty and their love of raising beef crammed together in little pens I doubt you'll ever see Meat Beat Manifesto play there. Or Moby either but who cares, huh?

At least you get major acts. Here in the middle of the country we're lucky if Kenny G plays a concert. Other than that it's bluegrass and the occasional heavy metal act and country artists. I think there was a rave in Cincinnati last year. Man or Astroman? plays here regularly but they play everywhere regularly.

At this point I would like to rage like a lunatic against the gutting of the FCC that allows fucking Clear Channel Entertainment to completely take over and homogenize the airwaves of this country into a paste of corporate dictated CRAP preventing anything progressive from being heard except on the rare college radio station but it would take too long. Fight the power!
