Downtown Kansas City Renaissance Fact Check: Nickelback And No Hope!!!



Tonight the worst band in the history of popular music is playing in Kansas City.

Nickelback is bringing their special brand of horrible to the half-billion dollar taxpayer subsidized Sprint Center.

The plan for economic development is that concertgoers are supposed to visit The P&L District across the street before or after the show and bring this town some much needed revenue. Sadly, in this case that's not going to work because Nickelback fans are broken in mind, body and spirit AND they all have to report to work at the Piggly-Wiggly in Independence, MO promptly @ 7 in the AM tomorrow morning and/or meet their probation officer around lunchtime.

The crowd for this tragic concert isn't anything special and their "economic impact" is probably limited to a dozen t-shirt sales as a gag or real world fashion "do not disturb" sign.

But I digress . . . The point is: Billions of dollars and counting have been gambled invested into Downtown Kansas City and proponents of this strategy constantly say that at least it's better than surface parking lots littering streets within the loop . . . That might be true any other time of year but . . . TONIGHT, there is no doubt that the worst music in the world is playing in the city's center courtesy of so many downtown cheerleaders, the answer is that NO, NO, BILLIONS WORTH OF CASH DRAINED FROM THE TAXPAYERS SHOULD NOT FUND THIS EVENING'S ATROCITY and surface parking is much better than the music of Nickelback.

Natch.

  2. Th Sprint Center has proven another city government FAILURE! the citizens who voted for them (the politicians that made that happen) have wasted YOUR money, it not your fault, you believe what you are told, promised and expect what they say they will deliver.

    When are people going to understand the crime of politics, the motivation they have to promise you the world, change or anything else usually never happens in the way they sold it to you! The proof is in the history!. Local, state and National government need a system of accountability, That should be held, run and executed by the citizens through a well supported legal non profit organization!!!! Problem is every non profit organization is over seen and dictated by the government so good luck with that! What you see here is what you get, you cant fight it but they expect you to pay for it, Its the greatest scam you will ever experience in your lifetime!

  8. Hey guess what Tony you self absorbed Toni Bones twat sniffing dickhead. These guys have umpteen hits and millions of records sold. That being said, I don't own any Nickelback tunes myself but I have respect for anyone who is willing to let it all hang out and go for broke with whatever they believe in and set a standard in their field of endeavor. You on the other hand are one in a million bloggers....Sorry dude. You bit off more than you can chew here. Nobody other than locals would know if your blog faded into obscurity tomorrow. Nickelback has made an indelible mark on Rock. Like it or not dude, that's the truth.

  10. Hard to believe, Tony focused on bitching about anything, pandering to a dozen 'haters and at the end of the day, the best he can home for is, another day of the same.

  11. Rock'n' roll has degenerated into shit over the last decade or three. Kansas City fans are lucky that they can see, up close and loud, exactly how it happened.

  12. Two ways to know when you've become white trash:

    1. You wear your pajamas to Walmart.

    2. You think Nickleback is cool.

  13. Doesn't Sprint Center make about a million a year. In about 500 years it will all pay off.

  15. Uh huh! Another tkc racist rant against a white band. For Tony it just isn't music if the group isn't comprised of some drop panted, ass hat, ghetto rat mumble fucking around while some other goon that looks like a planet of the apes reject is trying to figure out what direction a turntable works. And of course there has to be three black fat dancers moonlighting while their fat ass is busy stress testing the most powerful synthetic fabrics on the face of the earth. Oh yeah man!
