The Georgia Theatre

Hey Moby,

Hope you had a great weekend and an even better Father’s day. My name is Andrew and I'll be a senior at the University of Georgia next year. I have been a loyal listener of your morning show for the past couple of years, and this summer I have not missed a single morning, as I am in the car everyday while I drive to work.

I am sure you heard about the tragic loss of the Georgia Theatre over the weekend in Athens. As a community, we lost much more than just a music venue. The Theatre was the kind of town-defining place that was a big part of Athens for all of its residents, as well as the university students.
Some of my best nights of college have been at theatre. Over the past three years I can remember seeing Luke Bryan, Brantley Gilbert, Drive By Truckers, Carrie Underwood, Robert Earl Keen, Corey Smith, The Avett Brothers, Rhett Akins and Eric Church, which to this day remains my favorite concert I have ever seen.

I know you have a full schedule in the mornings with the pledge, wake up song, hymn, and small town soap box (all which I think are great), but I was wondering if during the beginning part of your show tomorrow you could take the time to play a song in remembrance of the theatre.
Any song of remembrance will do, just whatever song you think is appropriate Moby!
Keep up the great work. GO DAWGS AND YEAH BABY!

Andrew Maxey
---------------------------------------------
Loosing The Georgia Theatre is akin in tragic music horror as loosing Nashville’s Mother Church, the Ryman would be.

The Georgia Theatre, The Fillmore, Atlanta’s Fox Theatre, and a select few music venues will always be in the memory of musicians and fans that remember a certain, life-changing event that occurred there, and will forever be etched in their memory. Where were you when you heard Elvis had died, when the shuttle had exploded, when Kennedy had been shot?

What happened that you’ll never forget at the Georgia Theatre? There are many, many cousins in this radio family that now tearfully recall that event, and are in tears this morning that they can’t take their children someday, and explain what happened there that one night so long ago. To those in mourning for the Georgia Theatre, our hearts go out to you. The American music is grief-stricken for your loss.
