You know I love music. Unfortunately since I've been living it I don't enjoy going to hear it much anymore. It's not the musicians or the music, but the venues. Since they have never given me the time of day or had the decency to answer another man who's putting up the fight for music and art I feel like an asshole every time I step inside a place. I cannot justify giving them my money after such treatment. I understand they need names to fill seats and to make money, but they could at least treat me like a person and not a fucking idiot.
Who cares about one man? I do. It's for me that I must hold to my belief system because after all, what else does a man have?
Perhaps I might feel differently down the road, but for now I do not want to set foot in anymore Jazz venues in NYC. I was a loyal customer for a time, but now it just seems like I'm making an ass out of myself by giving them my money, love or support...
Fuck that.

Dude! I totally feel you travelin' to hear good music. i used to drive (when i used to have a car) up and down the northeast to hear bands. used to ride up to boston then down to philly then upstate ny or wherever! i'm not down for that kind of shit much these days...and i don't dig the dinner jazz club shit...i mean i don't mind rolling into a joint, settin up with a couple vodka rocks and a beer and sit by myself and just listen like you say - dristraction free - and i would sit at the bar. the bar is fine with me. makes no difference to me. i don't need any fancy shit. now i don't even wanna go to those places after the way i've been treated. i even asked the pres of my label to call a few times and they treated him even worse! i respected that he tried for me...those 24 hour buses are pretty lame - when i used to live in amsterdam i had to take that shit because the tram and metro stopped runnin at midnight! and fuck those assholes eatin the chips and soda...i know the feeling, man. one time me and my wife were seeing a film - i think it was motorcycle diaries or something - and this couple came in fucking crying baby! can you imagine? fucking motorcycle diaries with a baby? anyway, the baby didn't stop screaming and yelling and finally someone told an usher to get them out and as they were leaving everyone applauded - haha! i thought that shit was hilarious! funny thing is that you like the good music and art and shit...i don't think most folks get it anymore...
