Where's the Music?

RECEIVED Wed., Jan. 7, 2004

To whom it may concern,
    Why is Austin called the live music capital of the world? Is it because there are a lot of local groups performing every night? Here are some of the groups that missed Austin on their most recent tours: Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Iron Maiden, Maná, Juanes, Dave Brubeck, and Rush. There are a lot more groups that didn't stop in Austin which I didn't list. I moved to Austin so I could attend a lot of concerts. Unfortunately, I've had to travel out of town to see many of my favorite groups. If Austin wants to be recognized as a great city for music then there should be more touring groups playing here. Please, spare me your bloody story.
Sincerely,
Jesse Santos
