Are you fucking kidding me?

Apparently, according to Rolling Stone Magazine, Baltimore has the best music scene in America.

http://www.rollingstone.com/news/coverstory/20200609/page/34

Who knew? Is anyone else as annoyed by this as I am? Do you see any of the same old names, the same old shit, the unsupportive alternative bookstores (HINT HINT HINT N*****'s.) the obligatory mention of art school projects, Certain people who get not only the cover photograph but are mentioned twice in the listing??? And, omigod, a certain band shops at THRIFT STORES!!! What journalism!

Stroke, stroke, stroke, and repeat.
It's just like the City Paper, only worse.
