Re: “Money can't buy love at a website for sugar daddies, but there's plenty it can rent”
Yep, for thousands of years women have been kept home and raising babies and caring for elderly people for little or no wages, kept out of many jobs and all of the most lucrative professions, kept out of educational institutions, kept out of places like the BMCC where business deals take place on the golf course, paid less than men when they do get a job, kept out of promotions and partnerships "because we need to work with people we feel comfortable with," dealt with sexual harassment on the job . . . and THEN people act surprised and shocked and call them gold-diggers if they turn to sites like this.

Mr. Schmittou should either fix it, or sell it for parts to someone who cares.

Creepiest ever Battle of the Bands; Rock-Afire vs. Dr. Phibes' Clockwork Wizards!

Re: “How did Nashville get to be the ‘It’ City? Our timeline is full of ‘it.’”
One other odd omission: the rise of the Nashville classical-music scene. When I got here thirty years ago the Nashville Symphony was a regional ensemble in financial trouble playing in a hall with embarrassing acoustics. Now it has national stature, and the 2006 opening of the Schermerhorn was one of the biggest classical events of the year nationwide. And that's not to mention the fondly remembered Nashville Chamber Orchestra, Alias, and widely noted fusion and world-music explorations by experimental musicians like Edgar Meyer and Bela Fleck.

and then the transplants living in East Nasty telling the transplants that are newer than them to "go home" will be the demise.

Seriously, you can't put EVERY LITTLE THING that made what Nashville is today! Different people and events mean different things to different people. This was a well-written and well-researched article. I really enjoyed reading this! I've always been proud of my hometown. I never grew up saying "I can't wait to get out of here!"....I grew up saying "Yeah, I'll go different places and try different things, but I want to end up in Nashville again."
The end of the article was perfect! "The New York Times declares us the “It” City. Consider it an overnight success — 237 years in the making."
Great job.

Pinkberry sucks.

Sadly missing - John Hiatt. We thought we were something when McCartney came to town to record Venus & Mars. And then we figured we had a chance when Danny Tate passed his cassette to Rick Springfield. Copperhead Road got people listening. Hiatt got people talking.

Chaz/Family has used up to many favors to keep him out of jail . Time to pay for your crimes little BOY !!!
Re: “How did Nashville get to be the ‘It’ City? Our timeline is full of ‘it.’”
This was a great timeline and fun to read and remember. My faves: Johnny Cash references and Jack almost snagging the dish.

As a native Nashvillian musician .... yawn. Who again?
Re: “How did Nashville get to be the ‘It’ City? Our timeline is full of ‘it.’”
Yet, another article written by out-of-towners.
Re: “How did Nashville get to be the ‘It’ City? Our timeline is full of ‘it.’”
No mention of Bonnaroo?
Re: “How did Nashville get to be the ‘It’ City? Our timeline is full of ‘it.’”
Johnny Panic never returned the Flipper video I lent him. But I am big-hearted and hold no grudge.
Re: “How did Nashville get to be the ‘It’ City? Our timeline is full of ‘it.’”
I found this list to be quite cool but your chilling eschewal of the Nashville Predators was a frigid reminder of the typical blatherskite we've come to expect of The Scene. Surely someone could have skated downtown and remembered we've only had that phucking phrozen pond here since 1998? But Amy (speaking of frigid) Grant gets a mention? Bitter, man. I'm bracing myself for an algid response, but, alas, I'm expecting nothing but flapdoodle.
Re: “How did Nashville get to be the ‘It’ City? Our timeline is full of ‘it.’”
Well, you hung in longer than most.
Re: “How did Nashville get to be the ‘It’ City? Our timeline is full of ‘it.’”
You didn't mention the brilliant Phil Valentine coming on the air in Nashville! Typical libturdetry to ignore this! Yo La Tengo?!? WTF! Shoney's?!? Yeah, it's a great restaurant, but it's everywhere! But Phil is so revered in some circles that he wrote the forward for one of Sean Hannity's books! Did John Egerton (whoever that is) do that?!? Of course not! That's the kind of publicity most cities would die for! He even orchestrated the legendary horn-honking campaign that ended talk of the income tax! If you would be so kind to go back and add this to your little timeline, that would be great! Otherwise, I'm done with Jim Ridley articles! Thanks!
Re: “Dr. Asa Andrew sells health and hope at a steep price. Behind the scenes, however, the man’s practice may not match what he preaches.”
I owe my life to Dr. Asa. If it were not for him and his wonderful diet/supplements, then I have no idea where I would be. Probably even dead. I came to him at a very low point in my life. So thankful for his knowledge and ability to help us who need it! THANK-YOU, DR. ASA!!!
