East Bay Express belongs to Village Voice Media that belongs to New Times Media which owns all the newspapers from Santa Cruz and the entire bay area except for the Chronicle which own by Hearst.  Hearst, however is invested in New Times Media.  

They control the print media and decides what real news is by the fact that print media still employs the most full time journalists.

Nice to get an article about the scene.  I tried to find the article on the East Bay Express site but it didn't come up in a search.  I guess I'll have to find the paper version.

Here is the letter to the editor link http://www.eastbayexpress.com/feedback/?author_email=letters@eastbayexpress.com

Ahh for some time to attend to promotion/ education or maybe harrasment. (is the stress on the first syllable or the second?)

That is a lame and irrelevant analogy. Please try again.

As far as "bowing down" to the East Bay Express goes,
well I'm not advocating that. Obviously, it's a completely
stupid, corporate rag. Still, after all these years, I can't help
but notice the cycle of a) bitching about not getting any
press and then b) picking it apart, line by line, when it
actually happens.

I'm not sure what reaction folks expect when they blow
into the bell of their trumpet, but I'd say take a cue from
Cage (see the YouTube clip referenced here last week)
and expect laughter and derision, show grace and good
humor in the face of it, and then kick ass in spite of it.

And finally, concerning "Escape from 21Grand":
an endless jam, with mostly dudes, and a couple of
bottles of Two-Buck Chuck? Uh, I think I'm out of town
that week...

love,
George
