As an addendem, though, I have to put this out. While I was a writer, I often received comp tickets to shows (for having written preview articles or for concert reviews, a little unethical but hey, a perk is a perk) at The State or St. Andrews through a local ticket outlet (I can't recall the name). My contact and I were always on good terms. Right around the same time I wrote this article, Clear Channel bought that ticket outlet and, more or less, The State and St. Andrews. After the article got published, my contact magically disappeared and no one at the Clear Channel-owned ticket house would give me the time of day. Oh well, I guess if you own the game you can set the rules. But it's troubling to see and hear Detroit's hip-hop is still being given second-class status in its hometown.
Keep it coming, though. And while you're at it, try to get some more shows in DC (not just B-more). We have a lot of Detroit ex-pats who want to see their people.
Peace.Ha. This makes me feel old…
