It actually does. Come to BR, I’ll show it to you. I can link band after band after band. BR is killing it right now. Even my crappy garage band got a licensing contract. Another kid I grew up with is touring Europe right now. His song’s playing in a google commercial. If I have to spoon feed you great music, say the word and I will. It’s there whether you want to believe or not. The food scene is blowing up too.
The Spanish Moon and maybe Phil Brady’s are about the only two places I know that would even allow a non cover band to play. The rest are addicted to cover and classic rock radio.
But back to food. Name me the last James Beard awarded a BR chef or restaurant. Great food destinations have them and really great food destinations have many of them.
When was the last Michelin star awarded to a BR chef?

That used to be the case but is no longer. There are over a dozen venues now showcasing original music.

When was the last time a James Beard award went to a chef not from New Orleans, New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, Charleston, etc? How many Michelin Star awards go to restaurants that aren't in metro areas well over 1 million people or tourism destinations?
Like I said, our food and music scenes are pretty damn good for a city our size.

But does the good outweigh the bad
That's up to each and every person. It won't for some people. It will for others. It all comes down to what you value. For me, since I live in the city, have a short commute, and have a huge network of friends here, the good outweighs the bad for me, but I can see why it wouldn't for someone else.

You just outed yourself as knowing nothing about what is going with alternative music in Baton Rouge.

Ever heard of the Varsity?
Why is this getting downvoted?

You really have no clue Mike. The Varsity, the Manship Theatre, Red Dragon Listening Room, Dyson House Listening Room, Mid-City Ballroom, Chorum Hall, Harley/Vey Theatre, The Blues Room, L'aurberge, Henry Turner Jr.'s Listening Room, etc. all book a ton of original music, some of which book original music exclusively.
