How We Live Now
Yesterday I learned from Facebook that our next Mayor* was attending the grand reopening of the Crocodile Cafe. That in itself is densely layered with cultural implications, but all I want to say is this: the Croc had a great run, and it should have been laid to rest.  The space is a great site for a music venue, but let it become something new, a place that creates its own legends in its own time. Instead, it’s like Kansas touring again. Or the corporate blues bars in Memphis. I heard they’re going to offer a package Copper River salmon dinner with admission to the Grunge Museum.
*that would be Peter Steinbrueck
UPDATE:Â !
UPDATE 2:Â *nope, that would be Michael McGinn
