If You’re Feeling Positive, Don’t Read This!

Unless you live elsewhere other than East Sussex.

Went to Brighton Center last night to see the Manic Street Preachers, as live performances go I would say they are a bit good! Brighton Center is, unfortunately, a bit of a crap venue so the band has to perform to make up for that.
I think that a venue should be established in Eastbourne for the more mainstream bands to appear as appose to The Bootleg Beatles and Abba tribute bands we occasionally get. But, our town with all it’s potential has a council led by a load of old fashioned, bigoted idiots without a scrap of interest in driving away the “God’s Waiting Room” reputation this town has, customary, habitual, traditional, uncreative, unimaginative, a few synonyms that come to mind. They tend to cling to traditional values that are long gone, the idea of a holiday by the seaside? Oh please! All but expired in todays society except in the memories of the over 70’s who may venture here in the summer for nostalgic purposes, what happens in the future when they’re all DEAD!? The council need to be more creative and inspire the younger generation if there is going to be any prosperity in the future.
This part of the country as a whole seems to have a kind of dreary and dull atmosphere about it, (take Bexhill, Folkestone, Hailsham, Hastings, Lewes, Uckfield as examples) it’s only when you get to Brighton and westwards, that gloomy, depressive ambiance that East Sussex permeates into your soul and destroys all hopes and ambitions dissipates. Can you think of anyone extremely successful who was born and bred in Eastbourne?
