The Prophet Bar.

Dallas is a city still looking for it's identity. So what if JFK died here, so what if JR lied here, and so what if Jerry Jones wins another Super Bowl. Russell Hobbs' vision of the Theatre Gallery was to make art, music and theatre in its purest form whether it was profitable or not. The Prophet Bar took the next step (in a city where screwing people to get your own BMW, a Claudia Schiffer look-alike and have the best cocaine, was to die for). By challenging the belief systems of Dallas with provocative advertising, controversial bookings and promoting a counter-culture of seekers. The Prophet Bar became the epitome of a movement, much like the 60's, where a generation was saying, "there must be more". The Prophet challenged the city with music, theatre and special events which transcended the traditional bar scene. Many bands got their start at The Prophet Bar and have gone on to great success. Russell named Reverend Horton Heat, hosted The New Bohemians, TimBuk3, Mo Jo Nixon, Screaming Jay Hawkins, True Believers, Long Ryders, and many more.
