riverport r.i.p.

It's not like I was a regular concertgoer there, and it's not like there's any attachment that I had to its particular name, only that that was its name and now it's not because somebody decided to make it an advertisement for an entirely unrelated business. And so the familiar place becomes something alien and breaks all sorts of associations in the brain because it's got a weird, less-rhythmic name now. And so I find it a little sad.

(I ran across it when I saw that Yes was going to play some place I'd never heard of in the St. Louis area. Hey cool, Wakeman's back.)
