WAMU
« on: March 09, 2007, 12:38:00 pm »
This is going on at 12:00 today on WAMU, in case anyone is interested:
 
 It's a sour note for local clubs, as owners protest plans to bring the House of Blues to the District. Plus, one member of the City Council dreams of D.C.'s low-fat future, with a new bill that would require calorie counts on chain restaurant menus. Join us for our weekly review of the politics, policies, and personalities of the District of Columbia.

Speaking of DC politics -- what's up with that stupid hat and turned-up coat collar that the Mayor wears to all outdoor photo-ops?
 
 Who's his tailor?  Guido Sarducci?

Why should anyone care if the House of Blues comes to DC? Aren't calorie counts on menus a good thing?

Clear Channel does not own ANY music venues anymore.  Live Nation bought that part of their company like a year ago.

"Bought" is the wrong word.  Live Nation is a spinoff of Clear Channel and Clear Channel is still majority shareholder.

It wasn't a bad thing when Live Nation was doing slightly shows at Nation.  You know, the ones that are a little too big for 930, but might not be big enough for DAR?
