You're right the 1500+ people that used to come see us play each week had no impact.

You're right being in studios made no difference.

Remind me again what Townie has done in Philly?
 
People are sleeping on RJ's celebrity contacts. They are real.

I was watching TV...it was far more interesting than you.

Without the new restaurant movement (which was not about Le Bec fin), you wouldn't have the eateries of today. Philly has been one of the easiest places in the country to get financing for new places becuase of what was set in motion.

I absolutely agree that Penn has gobbled up too much. When I left that hadn't happened.

As to be the token "white dude" at Dobbs. I was around a lot more black musicians at Sigma Sound than at Dobbs. I keep forgetting you've always been a wannabe, wannabe.

You thought posting a private message about just another night in my that included Prince was an indictment of me rather than a show of jealousy on your part.

Everything you said about music existed in the 70s and early 80s. To blame me for the late 80s/90s is kinds townieish. I wasn't there.

Maybe the reason they use Bruce for the support countdown is that is his listeners are the ones who give to allow the music you like to be played.

The roots got start a loooong time before the 10s.

I still don't get what this is all about. Are you this desperate to create a battle in which you can even reach the sweat dripping of old balls that you think an Old Philly vs. New Philly has anything to do with you?

Why not try to say- I'm cooler than RJ because the internet of my 20s is better than the internet of his 20s. I WIN!! I WIN!!

This makes as much sense as what you are trying to do now.

Wow what a liar. You said you were in bed. I don't know if I should even respond to you anymore now that I know you're a liar and I can never trust or respect you ever again.

Philadelphia has never been an easy place to open restaurants because of how impossible it was to get liquor licenses. When a forward thinking mayor and city council started to allow temporary and seasonal licenses, we got beer gardens and pop up locations and food trucks and all sorts of 21st century amenities. They aren't smoke filled Locust Bar and Grill, I know. But I don't even know what you were suggesting about the start of the restaurant revolution if you weren't talking about Georges Perrier, the French and Spanish influences, and Philly being more than just a good place to get cheap, Americanized Italian food in the early 80s.

I forgot, you weren't the token white guy. You were the Philly version of Hesh at F Note Records, getting co-writing credits and making money off of black music you didn't help create. If that's too harsh (maybe it's not true, just a guess about your "band managing" days), I'll suggest instead that I go to concerts as a fan of music, not as a fanboy, sucking on the nuts of every b-list musician I ever came across and met. If I do get the chance to meet the bands at the merch table or at the bar after the shows, I might say hello, buy a drink, or leave them the fuck alone and hang out with my actual friends.

Philly is great now in spite of how irreplaceable you were to the scene. Your point is well taken that the Roots were big before today. That's because the brilliant musical legacy of the 70s never died. The 90s had The Roots and Jazzy Jeff and Jill Scott and Boyz II Men, a thriving R&B scene that persists in an evolved form today.

It's not jealousy if I'm making fun of all your name dropping and nostalgia. I get to live it now instead of 40 years ago! In fact, unlike most people on here, I haven't once questioned the veracity of any of the stories you have told. I believe them all. You seem like the kind of guy that chases after celebrities for the stories. From what I hear, you make an excellent one-upper in conversation. Everyone knows those are fun people to be around.

I don't understand most of the rest of your post, I must admit.

All right, I admittedly have been too lazy the read the last ~10 pages and don't follow the music thread. What is this in reference to? You used to play in a band, RJ?

I didn't play...managed and produced some stuff for.
 
Would someone buy townie a dog....he needs to feel to something so badly....This entire Philly thing makes no sense.

I helped bring the bike share that's coming to Philly this Spring. I even posted about it, rj style (surprise, nobody cared!). I never "played" to 1500 people though.

And Brews, the Inquirer sucks so much (another job I turned down, my current boss was the old publisher there that took a buyout in the early 00s). Story of the times and industry. Luckily, Philly Mag is still a great publication in electronic form.
 
somebody push townie's prolapsed pink sock back into his bunghole

RJ on fire
 
Every city changes over time. Philly has.

Townie is so dickless that he thinks creating a BS fight will make it look like he has one to some here.
