Lumberjacks. Not Crap.

I saw Prince in the Entry on Saturday night! He was hanging out, being all short and stuff

That's all fine, but who's the Chuck Cunningham of the group?

Bob Mould

hmmm... i just moved back from Minneapolis after living there for two years (first the Seward, then Uptown). while i would find it hard to vote "Crap" without a heavy waffle factor (+11), there are more than a few things about MPLS that i find quite disappointing if not infuriating. and i'm not just talkign about Let It Be closing down or the high cost of rent... it's generally a self-satisfied mindest and cliquishness that seem to go hand in hand with liberal provincialism in the upper midwest.

basically, i think people there, despite whatever politics they subscribe to, are extremely conservative socially. this is just as (if not more) true among so-called rebels (smelly gutter-punks or fashionable indie rockers) as it is yuppies who think they're liberated cuz the own a push-mower and read the City Pages.

but i've got a busy day today, so i'll have to eleaborate on this some other time...

Yup. Preach on, brother. Tell me more.

I could be a little bit biased here, but Minneapolis kicks ass. Come by Annie's Parlor, I'll buy you a burger and tell you why.

i only spent a long weekend in minneapolis once but liked it very much. i was there to celebrate gay pride with some friends and see some bands at 7th Street Entry. i enjoyed both the festivities and the rock club. and, i was impressed with how clean the downtown district was compared with chicago's loop.

Not crap.

St. Paul is nice and tranquil as well.
