- Well, I've had this idea for a while... All I need is a couple of
- investors and about 40 - 50,000 and a gay rock bar *could* open up
- around here pretty quickly.... :)
- *whistful sigh*
- I think that the gay DJ's really only play what they want to hear,
- and what thier EMPLOYERS want to hear, and the drones who continually
- dance to it are too brainwashed to do much about it. There's a couple
- of bars out here that play rock/progressive (ie stones, doors, rem,
- black crowes, etc...) from 5 ish till about 9 when the disco queens
- show up along with the disco dj.
-
- When I ran the Gay Metal Society here, we really didn't have too much
- trouble setting up metal nights at most of the bars. They started
- giving us tuesday evenings and such, but by the end, we were geting
- Friday and Saturday night gigs. Only the trendy places didn't think
- we could draw more than they normally could. Hell, I even had some
- rock clubs agreeing to do gay metal nights.
