So I'm guessing that nobody has any clue why DC was snubbed by Audioslave?

I agree with what Markie says below. Except as I near the age of 36, the lure of the bright lights of the big city have dimmed significantly for me. Other than a shorter commute (assuming I stay employed in the city, and don't get a job in Rockville or Fairfax or something), the city doesn't really offer me what interests me. And if an event in the city does catch my attention, well that's what my car or Metro is there for.<P><BR>As for you Thirsty, I grew up in a quiet village. I can look back upon my innocent teen years and smile. Although at the time I lusted for the bright lights and big city and in a way I still do. <P>But if I had kids would I want tham to grow up in a neighbourhood where I see used syringes, smashed beer bottles, drunks and fighting?<BR>

Those uber-left wing rocker guys surely get offers for sex from tons of left wing hairy armpit girls all the time.<P>   If he were an intern at the local Young Socialists would he get as much pie?<P>   <P><BR> <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Arial, Veranda">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by wingelbert humptyback:<BR><B> so fugazi's message is validated by their comparative lack of popularity? i don't like rage and i certainly don't care at all about audioslave, but that crazy dredded bastard never struck me as someone who is using his political beliefs to get chicks. </B><HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>

A large woman, wearing a sleeveless sun dress, walked into a bar in London. She raised her right arm, revealing a huge, hairy armpit as she pointed to all the people sitting at the bar and asked, "What man here will buy a lady a drink?" The bar went silent as the patrons tried to ignore her. But down at the end of the bar, an owly-eyed drunk slammed his hand down on the counter and bellowed, "Give the ballerina a drink!" The bartender poured the drink and the woman chugged it down. She turned to the patrons and again pointed around at all of them, revealing the same hairy armpit, and asked, "What man here will buy a lady a drink?" Once again, the same little drunk slapped his money down on the bar and said, "Give the ballerina another drink!" The bartender approached the little drunk and said, "I say, old chap, it's your business if you want to buy the lady a drink, but why do you keep calling her the ballerina?" As far as I'm concerned", the drunk replied, "any woman who can lift her leg that high has got to be a ballerina!<BR>
