DOWNTOWN November 23, 1988 -- LIES ABOUT THE CMJ CONFERENCE

 I wrote this piece as satire, but wanted it to appear as a real report. I guess the DOWNTOWN Gods were afraid of getting sued or something, so they wrote in big letters:

SATIRE

Still they did give an intro on the front page:

10 Bands They Wouldn't DARE Let Play at the New Music Seminar

Here's another one from DOWNTOWN (7-20-88) It's about the bands they wouldn't DARE let play for CMJ affair.

Downtown Nov. 30 1988 What REALLY Happened At the CMJ Conference

They had to write SATIRE SATIRE SATIRE all over this. I guess they were afraid that people would believe it!
