That said, I couldn't help but to post on his stupid message board that I hope he never ever lets KCRW sponsor any of his events again. (I did say that the event was almost great, mind you, but I did have a problem with KCRW being involved.) I fully believe it is the fault of KCRW that I experienced Joanna Newsome by seeing the top of her harp over the shoulder of a 6' tall man wearing a leather blazer and a slicked back Paul Mitchell-esque pony tail. He most certainly showed up hoping to see some lounge-y world music and because Nic Harcourt told him to. Maybe he was a nice man but he was also tall and there was absolutely no way he had any idea of how to connect with that music. He should have offered to let me sit on his shoulders.
Anyway, I posted to the "forum" on Arthur's website about this unfortunate choice in sponsors and the clientele it attracted. And you know what?? They took it down! I was censored by Arthur Magazine. Those right wingers in left winger's clothing! Next I am going to suggest they start running banner ads supporting the Patriot Act.
And thus, a silent new war is waged.
But don't get me wrong, the weekend on the whole was a good old time.
