    Sorry to hear about GH. Saw them once in Athens GA where Pete Buck joined them for a few songs. Great show in a great town, back in the day. Was in Chapel Hill in the mid nineties and Cats Cradle had a lot of good shows too. I don’t know what the scene is like now in those towns, but I’m now in Gainesville FL and it’s pretty bad. Baffles me.

      CH scene is still great. there are more shows at the Cradle and its ever-expanding group of affiliated clubs than i could possibly get to, even if i wasn’t old and lazy.

        Good to hear. Wasn’t there a recent documentary film or short about the guy that started CC? I can’t recall where I saw that.

          hadn’t heard about that.

          i did meet one of the previous owners, once, at a bar out on the coast. he was just some guy at the bar and we got to talking and learned his history. told us about this on night the Replacements were playing there. the place was packed, their stuff was all set up and everyone was ready, but nobody knew were the band was. so management goes to look for them. after a while, a bunch of drunk assholes from the crowd jumped up on stage and started messing with the instruments, trying to play a song but they were too drunk and didn’t know what they were doing. so the bouncers jumped up after them and got them offstage. except, of course, they were the Replacements.

            Ah the Replacements! Saw them at the 40W club. The owner literally threw Paul Westerberg on the stage to getting them playing. Apparently PW was getting smashed (shock…I know) and the owner had had enough. Great show though.
