Local Heroes




Is it just me, or does Montgomery Burns bear a resemblance to Dick Cheney? Monty's a bit skinnier, but beyond that, I think they're separated at birth.

In honor of Burnsy (my favorite "Simpsons" character, ahead of Police Chief Wiggum and The Comic Book Guy) I'm linking to a message from The Alfredo Torres Debacle about excellence on the Hampton Roads music scene.

He begins his post by writing:

"Wake up people!!!!!! You have no idea what the local music scene holds. You have no idea of what is going on with the talent that is currently walking the streets of Hampton Roads. You don’t know what is slipping through your fingers even as you read this."

Read the whole post here.

But, in essence, Torres is sounding a call to action on behalf of local musicians. He specifically mentions Pawn Shop Lifters, Rylo, Shifty, The Nerve Scheme and Freedom Hawk among many others.

Word.
