Last night in the music scene - By N.L. Belardes

I had such a fun evening last night. "Oh! A card for ICEland!" I was shocked. I never put armies in iceland. What would I do?

I lost.

So I moved on to a more devilish game.


Connect it, baby, connect with that scene... I mean, game!

I lost at that too... so devilish... see if I ever play again.

I don't like to lose. Neither does Jagels I hear. I'm sorry. Bad Joke. You know I recently read what Clay Pigeon had to say about me. I like that guy. I posted a brief rebuttal, not nearly hefty enough like I could have. I mean, if a scene wants to be truly great, then artists all have to support each other. I'm sure a few painters, construction workers, moms, PG&E guys, software developers enjoy punk rock. According to Clay's theory, if you don't like it, then don't support it, or just supprt half the man. Doesn't seem fair. I say support an entire art scene, not just punk rock, not just metal, not just photo art of hot Asians... you can draw fans from everywhere. Anyway. Read what Clay has to say. He makes some good points that you might agree to. Here was my rebuttal:

I like Clay. He's even grittier than you, Heath! Here Here! And good point on that my photo art isn't punk rock, but then, neither is writing, so why read at all? Gotta support the artist and not punish me because I can take pictures, write, paint, etc... support the whole person, the whole scene, the whole of the moon, not just the dark side... I supported bands on and off the stage, writing bios for free, taking photos, consulting... that means I was supporting bands when they were not just playing the tunes. I made flyers, I promoted a few shows... With that said, I think we can assume that I wanted support in all facets of me... not just one little dimension of me... just because I didn't write it, didn't mean it wasn't true. Dear goodness, don't believe everything I write, especially when I write to just support my books. Hell, I even cooked food for a whole lot of musicians. Remember my salsa you bands? Damn good, and I served people. I am a servant. But servants need to be treated fairly.
