It Happens: Something Useful At Kos

Though DailyKos is mostly just a circle jerk of earnest, unpaid victims blithely doing their best to work against their own interests masquerading as a liberal populist news and commentary website, sometimes you get something good like this.  No, a pathetic Ted Nugent wannabe cockbag spouting off against unions is nothing special, but the well-wrought evocation of a simpler time in the history of live rock music, especially in the comments of the post, is really decent.  Great name-check of Jen Trynin, too.  That's somethin'. What wasn't mentioned is that for many years, the major labels and huge concert venues have been left behind, as indie labels and indie bands working hard enough to get by are the new goal, not the consolation prize.
