Thanks for a great post. As somebody who lives in North Texas, I had to subscribe so I could comment on this piece.
I love going to concerts, and DFW has my kind of music. I love alt-country. But I can't go to many concerts because it's such a slog to get anywhere in DFW. I live in Denton, and it's easier to get to Dallas via DART. Fort Worth needs to get moving on some sort of mass transit. The music scene could thrive if it had the infrastructure.
We do have some great radio stations -- KNON, KXT, The Ranch and The Range -- while the rest are mid to blah.
No matter the reputation of Dallas, it did give us the greatest band in the world -- the Chicks!
leon/charley playing Does Fort Worth Ever Cross Your Mind? together in an arena, after having seen charley play in little bars in dfw over the years, is the kind of payoff that makes investing in local music the best thing you can treat yourself to
Congratulations on the KNON show, been a supporter of the station since the old days. I'll be sure to pledge during your shows.
