Might as well try to kick a waterfall.  I recently posted about The Local Music Show, created and hosted by John Richards from KEXP (Seattle cable channel 21).  And though my blogging tone had a sound of frustration, any of said frustration was meant for this city and the people in it, and our overly conciliatory tone, trying to please all the people all the time. 

I think I mentioned at one point that if John Richards doesn’t get out to shows enough, what hope is there?  Which is incredibly unfair.  That guy lives music.  He is to Seattle’s music what Tom Douglas is to Seattle’s restaurants.  A starry-eyed dreamer who sees the opportunities for improvement and calls us all out on those opportunities.  I am thankful he is here in Seattle, giving us the benefit of his enthusiasm.

Anyway, John, if you are one of the 4 people who checked out this blog in the last month, I hope we’re cool.  My comments were rooted in the same frustrations that prompted you to host that discussion that got me so amped.  Keep rocking, homes.
