I wouldn't worry too much about the "fear of the man" talk - we all know the score here, you operate that long, with that much music, in an obvious venue avec a license, it's going to catch up with you. THui has made Morry the lead man - which is an area of organization that they lacked, as well as bringing in some other (good) people on board...as mentioned, we like Tanghui (despite our differences in their description) and want to see them, as well as any venue that promotes the music scene, florish - but you have to cover your ass. Rest assured that BonBon has done just that (silencing at least a few of those who give us shit for having our "GigLive" show there). The whole "rock will always have a hard time" was over with punk - it's all paperwork now.

this is worth of RageAgainsttheMachine!!! Rock's been always under attack since its very beginning with all the sh*t about how rock and elvis and devil were the same thing. since then rock is been under attack, even has been attacked by traitors who once were headbanging happyly when they were still passionate about life until they become passionate about some more 'useful' things. rock's been attacked in every continent of the world and every year since the late 40's there's been a story to tell about how some ol'gagabitterpowerfreaks had tried to silence the guitars. well no matter what, 4sure rock will not fall down. it's been already here longer than many others that now are gone and tried to stoped it. ROCK IS STILL KICKIN' AND IT WILL KEEP ON ROLLING! EVEN AFTER ROCKERS AND EMPIRES FALL!!!
