      <![CDATA[Familiar Sideman got it right:<br />
Nashville is a town full of musicians playing for musicians.<br />
It'd be kinda like opening a nice restaurant in a town full of chefs.<br />
You might think your work would be better appreciated in that setting, but all you'll really find are a bunch of people who are sick of polishing silverware.<br />
As for the perception that Nashville is a C&W town only, well... you can thank the city leaders for that.<br />
The rest of the world is under the impression that we all walk around with cowboy hats on our heads and straw between our teeth, and it brings in the tourists by the truckload. Ma and Pa Kettle are not going to The End on a Tuesday to see anybody.<br />
I happen to like the way it is here.

      <![CDATA[I think the Curse had more to do with people outside of the city ignoring the Nashville rock scene altogether and not necessarily with a rock band having a "hit". I don't think one can say truthfully that people are ignoring non-country Nashville acts anymore when bands have their music all over TV, in major print magazines, on major tours, etc.  I mean, people who aren't into country music are moving here to try and "make it", as ridiculous as that notion is.<br />
However, if you are an up-and-coming band playing the End on a Tuesday night, it definitely will feel like the Nashville Curse is in full effect.

      <![CDATA[i feel like this discussion only has much importance under the lenses of the old major label recording industry that has been a dead bloated whale on the beach for quite some time, now. nashville has consistently had "hits" and celebrated artists as long as this has been a music capital.
