Agreed. If I was interested in becoming a male model, I'd have to spend even more $$ on clothing and the gym than I do on music. Unacceptable trade-off. :-) Moreover, clubs where people go to "see and be seen" are accomplices to a culture where music is secondary (or tertiary, given that the real $$ are made on the drinks.) So Pure wants to have the ultimate sound system in Michigan for what? So it can turn away the un-beautiful people that might be most interested in the music? The thing that really burned me up, though... >> "People travel to these clubs and gain exposure >> to what's going on musically," says Dan Logan, >> owner of Lush in Hamtramck.

If WMC was any indication, the "cutting-edge stuff being played in other cities" includes a preponderance of formula trance, and all the major label sweethearts that are available through the Columbia House Music Club. Now, maybe Mr. Logan is tired of hearing Kraftwerk and Model 500 played to death, but please: Mainstream does not equal cutting-edge. I'll say that again--Mainstream does not equal cutting-edge. </diatribe> - There4IM
