  • Confused Monday, Nov 24 at 8:02 AM FLAG COMMENT I think the Billboard awards are for more than just Dallas. So why would the headline read "Top Dallas Club?"
  • Toni Monday, Nov 24 at 5:39 AM FLAG COMMENT "Dallas, Texas continues to be one of the top live music markets in the country". Are you serious? Dallas has lost so many venues I can't believe that statement. Why do I have to travel to Lewisville and Ft. Worth to see shows? The HOB is nice, but it's expensive.
