"I have to disagree when you say that the local scene isn't as great as it was then.
First off, it shouldn't be compared. Then is then and now is now. Each should be viewed differently. For example, you cannot compare Local Ground with The Outpost simply because the people then were nurtured differently - music in those times were not the same as what we have now.
Remember music is a stamp of culture and community.
I see that this is a common mistake among our fellow musicians... most of us prefer the old ways. But things must evolve and change for the better. Another mistake is that we usually view success as a unified understanding. But success is always relative. What is successful to me may not be successful to you. We musicians should learn to accept new things, new riffs, new kinds of music. We must survive and breathe with the times.
The survivors are not those who are the smartest or the strongest but those who have adapted to change."
