Cesareo Garasa talks about local celebrities and the rock star life - By N.L. Belardes

Cesareo's Waste of Space, one of the newest blogs in the Bakersfield music scene has jumped in on the Rob Ruiz/DIM article controversy. Read on regarding his take on grassroots journalism, sensationalism, bloggisms of the local music scene, and old N.L.. Of course, there really isn't a controversy. As a scene writer, I'm simply not just going to be some boring writer who doesn't dive into the heart of the music scene, which in includes discussing rock and roll binge lifestyles and the fact that folks get cut from bands.

There's more. Skinnygirlfatgirl responds to Ronna's statement that I somehow publicly demeaned Mr. Ruiz, which just isn't true... I pointed that out a long time ago with Vesper... public demeaning is an entirely different ballgame, and would include explicit detail, and extremely harsh opinion...

Skinnygirlfatgirl gets down and dirty and writes:

Ha, how funny.
What is cool for a rocker to do? Drink, drugs, live "like a rock star". I am so confused. I still can't see what he, or Ronna, is upset by. Yeah he is a great guy, depending on your definition of great. And he partied "like a rock star." What's the harm in pointing that out? I wish I was young enough, skinny enough, and hip enough, to party like that.

They need to quit their bitching and start acknowledging the truth, and that's the last I'm going to say on the subject.
