There is a band called Trout Fishing in America. I don't find their music particularly interesting. Sorry. But a friend of mine found an old cassette tape of theirs from ~1992. She works with fish so the name was interesting and she wanted to see if an old cassette tape player she liberated from a work space that it had been abandoned in.

The tape works, they're kind of uninteresting Americana. To each their own. I found their website out of curiosity and they're about section was interesting. I wanted to copy and past some piece of it and send it as a message. I found that I couldn't. Somehow the website disallowed me from highlighting the text. I found that annoying and just view the source and ripped out what I needed. But for all of 6 not particularly long paragraphs, the entire HTML document was some 600 lines (without wrap text) and a lot of JavaScript.

When I looked at this, it was before I really knew much about how websites are constructed, only just getting into gemini space. It seemed appalling then, that 6 paragraphs needed that much stuff. Having gone back and looked at it again, having learned a lot more about HTML, CSS, Perl, some PHP, and avoiding JavaScript for the most part, my sentiments are about the same. Blech. Lots of stuff for shopfiy and other just typical web junk. Whatever, I guess that's the modern web. It seems like a lot of extra stuff for a band as unknown (to me) but maybe I'm the dummy here. They did come by my area shortly after this discovery, and tickets weren't super expensive. But I couldn't imagine sitting through however long one of their concerts would last. You do you, but no thanks.
