I’m such a moderate😂
I seethe when I’m told that it’s hateful if I don’t want a rainbow to be painted at a crosswalk, but just as much when big government tells me I can’t paint one. It’s up to the community who it affects… let them decide what they consider art.
I also think Lubbock leans too hard into Buddy Holly. Get someone relevant, please.
He was good enough for the Beatles. Besides, what else they got?
Edit: Silly me. I had overlooked another great Lubbuckian - Mac Davis.
Maybe. But can Houston talk? We enshrine and idolize some interesting people and things. 
Do you know who Buddy Holly even is…geez.
He was a musical genius and was just getting started before he tragically lost his life.
What’s next, you want Houston to remove SRV’s guitar from our HR cafe because he is dead?
I approve of this post, although I have no idea what SRV or HR stands for.
Texan card suspended for not knowing Stevie Ray Vaughn in abbreviated form. Notice it’s not revoked. Yet.

Hard Rock Cafe
Hard Rock Cafe closed years ago. Haven’t had it in Houston for a while.
Didn’t realize they closed.
Wow…4th largest city in the United States and we can’t even support a Hard Rock Cafe???
It’s pretty easy to not support it when the food is awful. I love the memorabilia they have in their restaurants, but you couldn’t pay me to eat there.
I was surprised to learn that it only, shutdown in 2020. I legit thought it had been closed since like when I graduated high school in the early 2000’s.
It would have been interesting to learn the future impact Buddy Holly would have had on the music world had he not been aboard the plane that crashed in Iowa.
2020 happened.
You should start and rant about this in a dozen or so threads.
Do you have any in particular that you think is appropriate to add to the discussion?
I’ll be sure to mention you recommended it
How did it last until 2020?
Money laundering operation for the Mexican cartels???
Something like that. No actual clue
Next door to a concert venue likely helped it stay in business. Not sure the last time I had been there but never had any issue with service or food quality. Though I usually was eating there for convenience but there was a time where it was convenient for me often.
I do remember one very windy, and chilly, concert night which may have been a general admission show, lots of people lined up at doors. Hard Rock Cafe sold out of hot chocolate. Maybe coffee & hot tea too.
Well for Lubbock, it’s " Bye-bye Miss American Pie."
