Oh, wah, wah, wah! Like you had anything insightful to ask Ray Bradbury when you were a cub journalist... PLEASE!!!
I'm sure your questions were so inane and banal that he felt like he was doing you a favor by dissing you.
And what makes you think that you DESERVED any respect from this man? That you showed up to waste his time???
How kind and giving are YOU to those little highschoolers who are clamoring for your recognition? Hmm???
Oh right... there aren't any...

I sometimes wonder if late start times are the bar version of age discrimination. Old folks like me are seen to lower the cool factor -- so why cater to us?
Some of us oldsters would like to go out, hear some music and get home before midnight -- even on weekends, but it's not feasible in BR. This is too bad since we have MONEY to spend on food and beverages -- and even cover charges!
And believe it or not, we like to hear original music AND cover bands. We cut our party teeth on cover bands back in the day. The thing is, we still like to party and we still like to go hear bands, but the local music scene makes it WAY too hard.
I remember M's Fine & Mellow Cafe had earlier start times and full houses. They also had a good mix of ages from teenagers to oldsters -- and they even had jazz!
Phil Brady's has been successful with Ned Fasullo starting at 8 and going until 12 with SRO crowds.
Why doesn't some enterprising club-owner-wannabe try that business model on for size? With good music and good food and a strong advertising campaign, I''ll just bet the place would be successful.

Bang-on-a-Can Allstars were awesome indeed! Sadly I missed most of the faculty performances; however, I certainly did not miss all the good stuff! The Berio cello piece was magnificent -- and Workers Union?? What can I say? It had the sparse crowd on its feet screaming for more!!
Shame on all the "music lovers" in BR who weren't there to support the Contemporary Arts in BR. Shame on the LSU music students who weren't there to experience the best of what they are striving to become. For once we get a concert that doesn't fit the cookie cutter mold of our usual musical fare and NOBODY COMES!!!
Well, all you Nobody's MISSED it and you are the poorer for it.
