Strange musings from Eric Hilton at Friday's Thievery show:
After a pleasant, cliched shoutout to Seth & 930, he implies it's good to be at 930 rather than Clear Channel places they've played. And Clear Channel was taken over by Bain Capital which has a Mitt Romney connection. And fuck you Mitt Romney, he says.
My takeaways:
*Hilton is going for Santorum or Perry or Gingrich
*He doesn't know that Clear Channel isn't in the venue management business anymore--by a bunch of years. (Sure-- like CC, Live Nation is a big evil shit conglomerate, but that corp doesn't have business connection to CC except for a board member or two overlapping.)
Overall, a poorly thought-out rant in an otherwise decent TC show.
Any similar ramblings at Wed/Thrs shows?
