This is turning ironic. Back when the Birchmere deal fell through and Fillmore was announced as the new venue, some of the younger letter writers mocked middle-aged old poops like me, who generally favored the acts that play at the Birchmere over the new acts that would play at the Fillmore (what is this “electric guitar” of which you speak?).

But with the way things are going, by the time the Fillmore actually opens up, those younger letter writers will probably be middle-aged old poops yearning for a place like the Birchmere where they can still see their favorite bands from the 1990’s and 2000’s. And they, of course, will be mocked by the new letter writers who are fans of the neo-polka genre of the 2020’s.

Providing a subsidy for Live Nation was bad enough before they proposed merging with Ticketmaster. Why, again, are we doing that? Does anyone who lives in Silver Spring want this deal?

Sounds like the foxes are guarding the hen house.

Giving the developers the the ok to build a project in which nobody knows what that project is going to be is just a bad idea.

“Everyone’s super-lawyered up”

Can we make this the County motto? Can anyone translate the phrase into Latin?

“Super-Lawyered Up” would be a good band name and I think they should be Fillmore SS’s first act to play there.
