though i tend to agree that rolling stone magazine is a very biased slanted point of origin . . . but then again, what really isn?t? everybody lets personal opinion slip into their writings. it forms part of the structure of what they want people to gain from said writing. but rolling stone magazine has had money for article scandals, "friends with the owner gets you everywhere? talk, and just downright questionable reviews of movies and music that did not deserve the praise/bs heaved at us, with their red stars. i hate those fucking red stars. but the point of all this is that i look at the nine thirty club and i just see a place that gets that same sort of "forced write up" from everybody around here, because it is home, it is the place we feel "apart of." i have my place as well that i worship and say is the best but on a grand scale nobody truly recognizes. i actually feel that the national in richmond (not my favorite) gives nine thirty a run for the prize every time. but that is my write up. nine thirty cant be the best or the greatest . . . when you have an entire country of ?greatest places? with stories and people that promote them. the end.
