Appoint Hood Ambassador

RECEIVED Wed., July 14, 2010

Dear Editor,
    You all must hate it when visitors point out that you are very spoiled – musically speaking – here in Austin. That talent is so deep, and youngsters are waiting in the wings to bask in the light that is Austin music. I truck down here from the San Francisco Bay where the weather is easy, but the music scene is controlled by folks who would be better off looking to a musical prodigy and a product of the scene, someone who understands the musical structure and history of Austin and its musical roots. I'm surprised Warren Hood isn't appointed the musical ambassador for Austin. The world needs to see what y'all are doing, and he is one person who would deliver the goods.
