a little ditty

Hi, Indiana Music. Can we talk? Seriously, please set aside your harmonica headset for one second so we can discuss your direction with music. I’m a bit confused…first, you’re just a honky tonk man tooling around with your accordion and glockenspiel, then you’re a disenfranchised southern man dwelling in your loss via blues guitar and slide. Then you ask me to wag my pointed finger in the air and somehow get groovy to this musical monstrosity like I’ve finally been set free from my restrained high school life of authoritarian Southern Baptist systems who forbid me getting footloose.

Please hear me out. You must release yourself from your preconceived notions of what Hoosier music is. How much rehashed John Mellencamp must we be forced to listen to? Or is it John Cougar Mellencamp now? I am not sure but all this Hoosier music is corny (pun intended). And I want my $5 back until either you straighten your act or at least attract decent bands to this area. Thank you for your attention, and please leave your suggestions at the door.
