Missouri Hates Music



If there is one thing Missouri hates more than the success of others, it has to be good music. We hate listening to it and despise seeing it live. This can be seen in the St. Louis and Kansas City scene. Both cities have god-wful crowds and we never sell out concerts that will sell out in an hour in most other cities. For example, Radiohead came to St. Louis in May of this year and it didn't sellout. Really St. Louis? Don't blame the economic climate either. I think most people can afford $30 every 5 years that Radiohead tours. See the thing is, we get big acts. But they only come about once, they don't sellout, and then they never come again. Booking agents see large metropolitan areas in St. Louis and KC and think that they have to stop in Missouri. Little did they know that we can't stand their kind.
