Just been thinking about the state of things,what ever happened to birminghams rock scene when all the genres of the rock scene supported each other? When anyone who was anyone and that means the joe bloggs down the road to the performers in a band didnt bitch about each other and stab each other in the back, they just came out and enjoyed the music and the drink and the good company.
Every one was there, not just for the music, but for the spirit of our own way of life everyone made a stand for what they stood for be it punk,rock,goth,metal or any other different kind of sound and we stood together as outcasts as some would say cause we were different, set aside from the norm.
Day in and day out i hear people bitch about the state of things, how theres no where to go, nowhere for us to be us but i dont see these people doing anything about it.
You've got Costers ,the Black Horse and Scruffy Murphys all still standing and yes we might be short of a few things but without you the people behind us what the hell do you expect?
Or are you all waiting for another closer so you can mourn and bitch about the life we love dissapearing. Why have we all gotta wait for remembrance nights when you still got places to go? Its you the people that make the places you go work and if you want them to still be here in a few years time its you that have gotta support what you've got left or yes they're gonna go and it wont be down to the management, it'll be down to you.
Hands up to REHAB, at least they're trying to pull it all back together and make the scene a SCENE again by working with all the different pubs, but its still all down to you the people to come out and support what they are doing, so bare it in mind next time you wanna bitch and moan and go home at 6 cuz theres no where to go ,its you that are shutting the doors......
