This Szasz guy strikes me as a total crackpot. Check out this transcript of a debate (if you can call it that)...
I've always wondered why it is that so many non-depressed people are so obsessed with telling depressed people that they could feel better if they could just pull themselves together and think about puppies more or something. It probably has to do with the way people say they're "depressed" when they're actually just kind of angsty, and spectators not understanding the difference.
Rats, I should've read their FAQ more closely before posting this for you guys:
But my favorite band / club / city isn't listed!
Initially we're focusing on the music scenes in Boston, Seattle, Austin, Chicago and the Bay Area, but will be expanding further soon. If you know of good lists of shows online in your area (like the website of a club or a scene), definitely let us know and we'll get it added post-haste! Unless it is for hippies. Oh ok, them too.
Being in the Boston area, I didn't notice a lack of concerts the way some of you guys are.
I like the way that "Will there be a television in the bedroom?" is right up there with talking about kids and sexual compatability...
