Episode 79 - Gate Keeping: Pros and Cons

Gate Keeping.  Why is it bad, can it be good?  Can we finally get along with the jocks?  Not when they threatened me every day for wearing Sepultura shirts in High School and then changed their tune when "Roots" came out.. I mean, F**k those guys... but yeah....  Do we want people wearing hockey jerseys at Suffocation shows?  What ever happened to the separation of sports and music?  Isn't that in the constitution?  Death Metal is MY thing, not yours...  you've never heard "Symphonies of Sickness?"  You weren't born when it came out?  That's no excuse.  Poser!  Lots of gray areas here and lots of nuance.  Just how we like it.
