Whyte/white represents the very essence of libertarianism; all for free and open debate, just as long as no one contradicts or argues against his rather perverse view of the world,

I guess that Boyhood is going into general release as it is not in the just-released Hamilton programme. Saw it in London 1o days ago and it is more than excellent. Nevertheless, I think it could have been better titled 'Childhood' as it is as much about girlhood.

Thanks, Jeremy. I was being a bit smart-arse there.

No, I don't think I have missed any point. I was just suggesting that a single, untested explanation doesn't explain anything. There are a myriad of possible explanations (including g a number you have pointed to), working in concert against drawing crowds to live music eg cost, competition from touring overseas acts (both ancient and breaking); late starts by bands; obnoxious crowds (especially the cellphone prodding, yakking variety); shit venues etc etc.

Hard News: Friday Music: Good ideas and grumbles, in reply to Russell Brown,
I am not so sure about this explanation Ian, if my students are any guide. They will freely (as in free) download films & TV series, but make a curious exception for local music-especially if they know some one in a band, want to be in a band, or are commuted fans,
But I do agree with some other explanations; my last experience (The National) of standing around impatiently on a sticky plastic sheet for 2 hours waiting for the band to deign to join us has rather put me off live music.
It was a nice surprise, however, to pick up the Guardian Guide in London yesterday, to see Lorde's face looming large. -
