    not to be a stickler, but it's miller lite, not light. of course this comes from a guy who takes pride in extolling the virtues of the champagne of beers (it says it right there on the bottle!), miller high life.

    Blakey-pooh - Don't worry, I'm not mad at you, though you continue to fight my LA-isms. And I can't argue with the hospitality thing. We will pimp out my blog soon.

    Newton - Thanks for the spellcheck. And yeah, I too, am guilty of an occasional MHL. It really IS champaign-esque. Kind of.

    Nashville's low percentage of fake boobs vs. LA's high percentage of fake everything

    sorry, but the lame rebuttals to the original argument are very stereotypical and just...lame. the fake boob thing? please. like rich bitch Nashy socialites don't have fakers? and unless you're a celeb and hitting private Hollywood parties or strip clubs, you'd barely know the difference. traffic? ok, wow, one knock on LA. if you're smart, you find your shortcuts to avoid the highways. taxes? uh, the same as Tennessee. nice try. hopsitality? well, i'd rather have well-educated, cultured people who might be a little snobby than friendly, aww shucks people that think God is real and voted for Dubya.

    long story short, all bad rebuttals. i was the same way when i lived in Kansas City (all my life). easy to sit back and be like "no way I'd live in LA; bunch of fake people and Mexicans and shit." well, guess what? i was just hatin'. had no idea. you can't argue against the weather, the geography (ocean, beach, mountains all within 3 hours), the incredible music scene, the free parties, the restaurants, the bars, and those once-in-a-lifetime run-ins w/ big celebs like Jonathan Lipnicki. Nice try, Nashville. Keep honky tonkin'!

    Oh, for Christ's sake. There are fake boobs everywhere. Did you get up on the literal side of the bed this morning? It just so happens that we like where we live, and now Jill has an ally in the LA/Nashville battle. And what's up with the well-educated and cultured people burn? We have an ITT Tech here. Just because because we don't have the Polish Museum of America in Nashville doesn't mean we don't have culture. Dickson has a Drive In. So there.

    nothing about my Jonathan Lipnicki. god, you're in one good movie with Tom Cruise as a kid with an eight-pound head and then you're just completely written off.

    ok, about the boobage and the general fakeness, it's one of those things where if you want to find it (hang out in Manhattan Beach or Sunset Strip, for example), you'll get the fakeass beautiful people with the attitudes. and sure, there are equally as snobby hipster pockets in Silver Lake/Echo Park, but big deal. the point is that there are so many other cool nabes in LA where you can avoid most if not all fakeness.

    I wonder if Jonathan Lipnicki was a junior groomsman at Kenny & Renee's wedding last week.

    You may have him, but we have Matlock. Matlock loves Nashville.

    L.A. is more educated?

    Note that 46% of Nashville adults have a bachelors degree or better, vs. 18.7% in Los Angeles. If you want to compare West Hollywood (58.8%), compare it to Brentwood (67.3%) or Franklin (63.8%).

    L.A. is certainly more cultured though.

    Nashvillians aren't stupid(ie. Vanderbilt, Belmont, Lipscomb), and we do have culture(ie. Frist Center, Symphony Hall, Broadway@TPAC, etc.etc.). For the one who argued otherwise, you're the one who's naive and obviously not the sharpest knife in the drawer.
