Just look at who played. Even the older guys who played the blues music were just mediocre. Get real, look around is all you need to do. Would Clapton, or Derek Trucks or Jeff Beck or Van Halen even stick around to hear any of those bands that played. THINK ABOUT IT!

Mr. Hellman wrote an entire page in City Beat on how the mission of the San Diego Music Awards is to support and appreciate local music and musicians and then had his writers (Seth Combes and The Guitar-Center-Wannabe Posse) write a series of name-calling attack articles on San Diego’s Music Scene and local musicians, namely how Josh Damigo’s music is “cheesy” and The Styletones are “Kitschy.” I’m confused Mr. Hellman by Seth Combes ad hominem articles! Are they the “Supporting” or “Appreciating” part of the San Diego Music Awards mission statement?

Since actions are real and words are only illusions, the actions of Mr. Hellmans newspaper show quite strongly that the only viable mission of The San Diego Music Awards and City Beat is to slam local recording and performing artists, denigrate the local music scene and provide a forum for his talentless and insecure minions that criticize those with infinitely better instincts than his negatiove and vituperative staff.

The EGO Boys at City Beat better get up to speed
1. How can you ignore Switchfoot and instead give the awards to your unknown and less talented friends at City Beat & Guitar Center?

2. How can you ignore “Tomcat” Courtney in the blues category, when his number one selling blues album in Europe earned him a visit to this year’s Montreux Jazz Festival?

3. How can you recognize Josh Damigo for his smartly written songs and recorded album and then attack him for it?

The most positive thing anyone can do to support local music is to trow away every copy of City Beat that they see!

The comment above was brought to you by the master of the CAPS LOCK ADJECTIVES. Switchfoot will survive. Maybe it’s time to go back to riding regular. Spending your life going fakie can cause dizziness and non-winningness.

Yellow is a better color than blue.

Sorry. Just wanted to start another stupid arguement.

Thank you! I’m glad someone else on here agrees! I mean, it’s so true! People need to realize what REAL music is. And I don’t mean Slightly Stoopid, or and of those other RETARDED bands. I mean Switchfoot. If you are intrested in an AWESOME Switchfoot fansite, go to http://www.landofbrokenhearts.com It’s the largest Switchfoot fansite ever! It won a Dovr Award for best fansite this year. It’s pretty rad.

There is a lot of great rap in San Diego even though you folks seem to be having a difficult time finding it.

I invite interested parties to check out DagoSD.com, which features hundreds of tracks and interviews with San Diego rappers.

Get a clue. Just because you don’t know about San Diego Rap doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist or isn’t important. As self-appointed music authorities, I challenge you to connect with a community that may lie outside your comfort zone. Otherwise, do us a favor and drop the Rap category and coverage.
