Hot Goss 'I'm Sure Everyone in Nashville's Going to Be Like, "Fuck You," But I'll Say "Fuck You" Right Back to Them': Jemina Pearl 'Forks Over the BYOP Story (Sorta), Talks Smack About Nashville
Posted by Tracy Moore on Fri, Jan 16, 2009 at 1:42 PM
We had both been wanting to move to Brooklyn, so we just left Nashville and took a Chinatown bus up to the city for like $40. It was kind of like, "Fuck it, there's no reason to be here." Nashville's an interesting city but it's one of those places that's better to visit. I'm sure everyone in Nashville's going to be like, "fuck you," but I'll say "fuck you" right back to them. It was really a spur-of-the-moment move. I brought two suitcases and my guitar; John brought one suitcase.

BYOP were pretty much the FOTM there for a bit -- sort of the indie Bananarama. Nashville's pretty great and so is NYC...most of both cities, anyway -- (big)apples/oranges and all that.
PS: i like how everyone in Nashville's too lazy to call a cab (which is on them, methinks) when hammered, and then MiniPearl notes how she loves NYC because it...has lots of cabs?
I've long been a BYOP apologist, but taking unnecessary shots at Nashville is a dealbreaker. Bad play. Go fuck yourself, Jemina.
I'd have to disagree and say that if you were just visiting Nashville, you'd have no clue where to go for the actual cool things that happen here. Nashville is a shitty place to visit. Whereas, as a resident, you know about stuff, you know the person at the door, and you go home to a $600/month spacious apartment. Of course the options for things to do are far more plentiful in Brooklyn, and possibly more cutting edge, but I can't imagine living every day relying on my powers of contrivance (which seem necessary to survive in Brooklyn). In fact, I'd argue that BROOKLYN is a great place to visit and a shitty place to live.
i am totally in brooklyn right now. hey jemina, what up girl?
i am with julian and the girls, and we are partying brook-line style.....u wanna get wit dis??????
meet me on kingsland and nassau. i'll buy you a prociutto and turkey on a fresh roll and we'll roll into soho and pick up some sweet rice pudding from the the trendy joint on 26th and 2nd.....
i totally moved to brooklyn and didn't tell anyone, then i moved to manhattan and told the world.
wat it do nashville???????? ya'll haters??????!!!!
So, she's living in Brooklyn and is saying NASHVILLE is a shitty place to live???? HUH?
She looks and sounds like an angry militant lesbian. Girls got issues. She'll be back, and when I see her working behind the counter at Panera in 21st in a couple of years, I'll leave her a tip.
Brooklyn is really cool however, there are so many trustifarians roaming the streets it gets a little annoying. Picture Belmont kids, but everywhere and more worthless.
cut the girl some slack, yo.
i feel the same way about my hometown.
she's like barely 21 and she grew up here, so it doesn't surprise me that in this phase of her life, she finds brookln to be that much more fun and exciting to live in.
I'm pretty sure that was the least offensive knock at Nashville I've ever read.
I myself get my kicks in on a down Nashville any chance I get. This place is boring and full of the sort of clueless people who would consider defending its honor.
I agree, angry and militant, with suboptimal estrogen levels. If she thinks Nashville was tough... and oh, Linwood, you make Noo Yawk sound so cool. Rice pudding? You really know how to live. Guess it depends where you put the rice pudding.
you guys are hilarious. im pretty sure what she really meant was "I'm sure everyone on Nashville Cream's going to be like, "fuck you," but I'll say "fuck you" right back to them." saying that you would rather visit than live in the city you grew up in is not an insult. and only guys who never get laid equate opinionated girls with short hair to lesbianism.
Way to take the bait, Nashville. Incidentally, parking in the Gulch really sucks, and Nashville winters are shitty. I'm sure everyone in Nashville's going to be like, "fuck you," but I'll say "fuck you" right back to them.
