Gibbons, however, says Brown University, which is located in urban Providence R.I., supports a student nightclub called "The underground," which features funk, jazz, and rock music, as well as alcohol for those over...
...real show-stopper of the night was Jessica Tardy '99, with her smoking brand of funk rock and blues. Accompanied by Tyler Wood '01 (Keyboard), Andy Eggers '99 (drums), John Cappelo (bass), and Noam Weinstein (guitar)--who were all excellent in their own right--Tardy rocked the house with a voice and presence that Passim was straining to contain.

The balderdash that follows is nonsense of the highest quality. It proves both to scolds who think that funk, grunge and rap and the rest are rhythmic vomiting, and to those who actually like the stuff, that music today is a racket...
