another live music venue marked for death

this time it's the gypsy tea room, the _good_ room over in deep ellum. is it my imagination, or do ppl just not wanna pay for live music anymore? (in clubs, i mean. big concerts -- which i consider sporting events, not music -- are prolly a different matter, but i wouldn't know, not having been to one in like six yrs.) farewell, g.t.r., where i saw wayne kramer, patti smith, j. mascis & the fog, and the hochimen, where frank campagna painted a succession of gorgeous murals, where i met kevin pearce from dead sexy before i knew who he was, and where sir marlin von bungy once acted in a movie.
