OK, a month ago I tried to be positive about the music situation at Sabres games because I wanted to be positive; I wanted to be a glass half fill kind of guy. But then I went to the game Wednesday night... and that positivity got chucked out the window because the music was atrocious. I was stunned by the rubbish they were playing. John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band (yes- John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band). Phil Collins. Wang Chung. Motley Crue.... twice. It was shocking. It was godawful. Other than the Arcade Fire that kicks the game off and the Black Keys after Sabres goals I used to joke that the music at the FNC was programmed by a fourteen year old girl, but now, I am convinced it's programmed by a middle aged white guy in a denim jacket.
It's almost as if.... gasp... the Sabres target demographic is THE SQUARES.
Yes. The Sabres are for some reason appealing to the squares. The overly denimed. The Nickelback crowd. There. I said it. They've even managed to make 97 Rock look hip. It's outrageous. It's practically a scandal, and it doesn't get nipped in the bud pretty soon they'll be playing country music. And God help us if the music is picked by Terry Pegula... then we're really in trouble. That eventual Stanley Cup is going to be swell, but the price, the price might be too great to bear.
Please.... Sabres.... Buffalo is kind of cool. You're going the wrong way.
The Jambrones is the answer. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GRC2aoZZgcM
