And a lot of good ones have spoiled it for the less-than-perfect. Comedy
Central constantly reruns the same old shows, many of which are great, but
get old after they've been on a few times.

It seems to be going away. Unfortunately, the pay to play clubs simply went
away, and most other clubs had already gone DJ, leaving sports bars and
similar places. The Hollywood clubs are still hopping, but there's not many
venues left like we had in the '80s.
C-ya! Rich
