Burial Business

Interesting look at those who call Colma their final resting place: I really enjoyed Joe Eskenazi's article on Colma ["Last Stop," feature, 1/14]. It was a great story on the history of the relationship between San Francisco and Colma and the evolution of how people bury the dead. I'm personally against burial of any kind but I know old habits die hard — no pun intended.

It's expensive after getting a DUI: It's pretty easy to get a DUI and it's not worth the risk ["SF Cops To Go After Drunks Tonight," Erin Sherbert, The Snitch, 1/23]. The driver loses his license for 30 days, he has to pay for DUI school, fees to the DMV to get a restricted license, figuring out transportation to work during the suspension, whether or not to get a lawyer, hassling the DA for a court date, traveling to and from a court appearance, taking time off work to take care of all these things. If someone is going to decide to drive [after having a drink] at least have a breathalyzer because DUIs can be easily avoided. Good luck.

FirstOffender

Blog post doesn't get at the heart of the matter: This writer seems focused on inciting further issues rather than actually tackling inequality and discrimination ["Saturday's Protest in the Castro for Queer People of Color Got a Little Ugly," Pete Kane, The Snitch, 1/21]. What's the takeaway — that middle-class Caucasians are disgusted with disruptive behavior or that bar attendees should put their drinks down and riot in the streets? This article is extremely short-sighted and unfortunately offers nothing productive to the community or the equality movement.

Concerned But Hopeful

He's not that bad: Kid Rock might not be a saint, but the writer is making him look much worst than he is ["5 Reasons Kid Rock is the (Absolute Fucking) Worst," Rae Alexandra, All Shook Down, 1/21]. In fact, most of what you say is complete B.S.

  • clipping at Brava Theater Sept. 11
    Sub Pop recording artists 'clipping.' brought their brand of noise-driven experimental hip hop to the closing night of 2016's San Francisco Electronic Music Fest this past Sunday. The packed Brava Theater hosted an initially seated crowd that ended the night jumping and dancing against the front of the stage. The trio performed a set focused on their recently released Sci-Fi Horror concept album, 'Splendor & Misery', then delved into their dancier and more aggressive back catalogue, and recent single 'Wriggle'. Opening performances included local experimental electronic duo 'Tujurikkuja' and computer music artist 'Madalyn Merkey.'"
