An Open Letter to Sonic Youth on their Return to Minneapolis

An Open Letter to Sonic Youth on their Return to Minneapolis
 
Dear Sonic Tooth,

You are one of the most influential bands of your generation. I love you guys. I love your music. I love what your music stands for. That is why am I wondering WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU PLAYING AT THE QUEST!

Did you not know it is exclusively booked by Clearchannel? Surely you must know this corporation airs the programs of Rush Limbaugh and Dr. Laura. And owns and operates over 200 venues nationwide. What went wrong? Were you really all that excited about playing at the same venue as every sell out whore to ever hit the radio waves?

Why, I ask you why! Why not play at First Avenue or any other club? Sure it's small. Sure they probably wouldn't be able to front you the tens of thousands of dollars The Quest is frontin' you. But at least you'd still have my respect. That may not mean much to you but it means a lot to me.

Please feel free to contact Sonic Youth and tell them how you feel.
