Here's something I promise you:
As soon as I get the money to beef up my music gear, I will start contributing to the Fort Worth music scene and make some awesome rock and rock music (I've already got my Now I Wanna Be Your Dog cover down pat)
Then, Fort Worth will gain prestige as a music scene and good things will come our way.
