my friend here in san francisco says that austin has got to be the most nostalgic city ever. for everyone there was a decade better than the other. i hear people say, "you shoulda seen austin in early 2000s" then others the 90s, and some 80s so on and so on. And I thought it was particularly funny that they showed the part of "dazed and confused" how they were complaining how the 70s sucked and the 60s were better. i think linklater nailed it. and its probably gonna be like that for every decade as time goes by.
i also just finished watching this movie and some guy is interviewed there. and he basically tells one of the musicians that for all the decades in austin, musicians have always faced obstacles. and that it's part of the struggle as a musician. and its not something that the city itself is doing to give them a hard time. anyways... its pretty interesting and i thought it was cool looking at austin from a really cool perspective. and i recommend it.
