Honkey

Used to be some great Blues clubs in Chicago (where I hail from) but anymore the few remaining are over-commercialized jokes and the others have become Starbucks and cookie shops (per the wording of Kramer in reference to the mom-and-pop shops going away). -----Original Message----- From: owner-classiccmp(a)classiccmp.org [mailto:owner-classiccmp@classiccmp.org]On Behalf Of Douglas Quebbeman Sent: Tuesday, December 18, 2001 3:14 PM To: &#39;classiccmp(a)classiccmp.org&#39; Subject: RE: RE: Honkey <sigh> If only there were someplace to get out *to*... maybe Bubba and Billy Joe are slugging it out again at the Silver Dollar... that's always a good show. We used to have some very cool, dark, smoky blues clubs around in the 80s... then blues got popular with Gen-X-ers and it all moved downtown to clean, glitzy, neon-infested juke joints... I might point out that some off-topic threads have gone private and ended up being the beginning of more than one new friendship... -dq
