Negative, New Orleans is ghetto as hell. Check on the murder rates in Nashville and Austin and get back with me.

I take it back. New Orleans is one of the 10 safest cities in the world.

Oh I get it now.

Figure what's most important. Nashville has gotten way hipper in the last decade. Tons of night life...but Austin has SH#T tons. Nash is demoralizingly humid in the summer & the friggin capital of 33 & raining in the winter. If it weren't for the industry I'd never live here. I'd take Austin on weather, but would take a hundred places over both on geography.

If you want to work in music, Nashville. It's a big touring, recording and publishing hub with a bunch of ways in. The players at the top level are world class, but you can be employed if you work hard eitherway. There's also lots of technical work as well. If you want to be in an original rock band with lots of venues to play then Austin though you wouldn't be stranded here either.

I've also seen bands just tour Texas & have longer, more profitable runs than bands that get signed, sued and break up. Lots of hot chicks and good bbq in both, we've got two pro teams, minor league baseball and Vandy but Austin has UT.

Anyway, dunno if you're a player or what the most important angles are but hope that helps somehow. I spent a summer in Austin and have been many times since. Both towns have redeeming and notsomuch things.

By name? Thought the OP could put that head scratcher together on his own.
