Why do I care where a gastropub is located? Gastropubs tend to serve weird things made with meat along with beer. I don’t eat beer and I don’t drink meat. I’ve been known to smoke a rum and coke or two, but that was years and years ago. Now it’s all tempeh and tonic water.
Still, it’s good to hear about a newly open place down in the BMT. There’s just so much drama in the BMT, it’s kind of hard being S A N U K D. Still, I somehow, someway, remember how it used to be way back in the old days. Back when Jimmy got all sorts of folks to play in the Grey Eagle. It used to be out there in Black Mountain, you know. As a matter of fact, it is named for the name of the town before the town was named Black Mountain.
And there was a scene. It consisted of these song writers and singers. Plus there was the radio station down in Spindale. It supported the scene and the scene supported it. They all came together in that club in the town. There’s no portion in being bitterly nostalgic, so its good to sea that ,maybe something new will go in there. Maybe there will be a new scene. Maybe this one will last.
