Weird local fact that I didn't know about until last year. All of the local high schools don't hire live bands for their dances anymore, and for a while now. The kids want their music more "perfect", so they hire a DJ to spin electonic tracks. This simple enough pronouncement from one of the local kids just blew me away. Garage bands that played schools were the breeding ground for talented musicians in the past. I find this to be a very strange turn of cultural events.
