Maybe we should let Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton loose on the Power & Light District, then we’ll see some change. Anybody got the phone number to the Rainbow Coalition???

Why do people keep spending their money in a place they’re not wanted? Its obvious nothing is going to change. There are other good places to go to in Kansas City.

I guess the Power & Light dummies won’t be satisfied until they run all the people of color out of there. Don’t they know that racial integration and diversity is the new face of America? I thought we put some of this to rest with the election of President Barack Obama. I guess not.

Hey JD, i like your statement of “Power & White District.” Pretty funny. I agree…I’m sure the owners have plenty of cash to buy quality music equipment for the artists so I’m not buying the “JAZZY JEFF PLAYED HIS MUSIC TOO LOUD” excuse. Anybody who believes this is an idiot. Jeff got kicked out because he played too much hip-hop music, plain and simple.

Yeah JD, I must admit; the club owners and managers were aware of my intention to write a bar review. Hey, maybe next time I won’t mention anything about journalism just to see what type of reaction I get. Then I’ll write a story about that.

The Power and White Dist as it’s come to be known is full of it! They have live concerts, with live music, with people jumping around screaming in the mics. Now if the system can handle, Guitars, vocals, keyboards, etc. but not a FRICKIN RECORD PLAYER, then their system sucks and it needed to be blown out! They are a lie and I can’t believe the powers that be in the city has allowed that lie to ride.

Wayne when I saw your email and it said you were treated well at those establishments, you were there to do a story right? I’m sure they knew you were there to do a story right? So why wouldn’t they treat you well?

On the flip side, the Power and Light is an entertainment District, Bars and the like. But there is a dress code to even be on the side walk. You talked about going inside the club, but they say you can’t even be in the area dressed a certain way, come on dude that’s some ish right there.

And Iknow you remember all the nights we spent down on westport and not once did they keep us from walking on the street cause of our dress.

As long as he got paid I’m sure Jazz didn’t mind. They can kick me off stage as long as the money is right.

I was at the concert on Saturday night and at first i thought it was a skit. Then I saw everybody take their laptops and equipment off stage. The music was not too loud. Everybody in the crowd was havin a good time, i don’t understand why the power & light people shut it down, they even pulled the plug on the speakers…i thought it was an act, part of the routine, but we soon came to understand it wasnt.
