Dear Louis,
My compliments on last week’s “Page Two” [
July 9]. The previous week [“
Page Two," July 2], you’d piqued my interest by mentioning the importance of often unrecognized supporters of music scenes, so I was amped to see that you spent the next week elaborating on that idea.
Though I’m from a younger generation, your notions resonate with me. Regardless of age, we’re at the shows for reasons that are both personally selfish and socially unselfish, but above all it’s because we love it and don’t know any other way to find the grail. I’ll try to remember this the next time I’m suspiciously eyeing the creepy old guy at an otherwise youthful show.
Great column. Great lyric choices. It all reminded me of my favorite writer, the late, great Lester Bangs. Keep up the stellar work.
