(Sorry Corin) Okay I think we have one case for an MP3 here: I can honestly
say I've always ignored all of the Chiswick apologists. Drainer (or whatever
the fuck your real name is) make an MP3 of what you consider to the the best
song from little Hitler's early days, and either email it to me or post it
on a website. I'll give it one honest listen.
And if you feel that the clubs are making money, while you as the promoter
are getting screwed, that just means either that you don't know how to
negotiate or you suck as a promoter or both.
And yes, back in the 80s I promoted my share of shows, so I don't want to
hear your bitching about "supporting the scene."
Enjoy,
John M. Stafford
