Comments on: Travelodge on Valencia allegedly refuses credit card of the legendary guitarist for the Meters… because he’s black http://www.missionmission.org/2012/10/19/travelodge-on-valencia-allegedly-refuses-credit-card-of-the-legendary-guitarist-for-the-meters-because-hes-black/ Saluting San Francisco's Mission District Mon, 27 Apr 2026 13:23:14 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.6.1 By: Karlayhh http://www.missionmission.org/2012/10/19/travelodge-on-valencia-allegedly-refuses-credit-card-of-the-legendary-guitarist-for-the-meters-because-hes-black/#comment-68546 Karlayhh Wed, 09 Jan 2013 04:02:58 +0000 http://www.missionmission.org/?p=44128#comment-68546 meth, mainly the “crystal meth” product, is regarded as the greatest addictive unlawful tablet of the us, mexico and even canada nowadays. so, all medicines such as sudafed (a nasal decongestant) which contained ephedra were eliminated from pharmacy shelves to prevent their take on by illegal pill firms and underage clients. nobody is pointing the finger here. the root of the childhood obesity epidemic does not lie solely upon the schools. parents, food suppliers, the health care system and even our government are just as guilty for allowing the health of our children to degenerate into what it is today. thus, it will take a group effort from all facets of society remembering the simplicities of yesteryear in order to overcome. website: http://www.bharatbook.com

No wonder the other guys had a bad time with him. The shredding is terrible, hurts to listen to, but he’s a legend so he keeps playing and people keep paying. The “original” Meters only get together because people pay them so much– Art and George and Ziggy say it with body language: they’re just geting paid.

Still, the event is terrible and Travelodge’s owners seem to be getting the public flogging they deserve. I’m just saying… Leo’s guitar… what I hear about the guy… it’s OK not to be a legend’s fan.

The tweet has mysteriously disappeared from their feed…odd that they wouldn’t stand behind it.

In San Francisco? The hell you say! I’m more shocked by the fact that they put it out there up front, instead of the insidious way it usually rears its head here in the City.

If you’re from out of town, it’s really hard to gauge the quality of a place before booking it. TraveLodge, while by no means luxe, is a national chain, and I would have felt comfortable booking it from afar.

While phone calls/emails might be an annoyance for the motel, it would be more effective for the injured party to file a complaint online with the Human Rights Commission (http://www.sf-hrc.org/index.aspx?page=85#What is public accommodation discrimination?).

The man wrote Cissy Strut for crying out loud!!
