I read about this last week in another publication (i can't remember which one) and I'm sort of pissed that it would be so specific to electronic music. I know when I play shows I'm clean and sober but my audience I can say without a doubt usually isn't and why would I be held responsible for what people do while tucked away in the corners of the venue. At first I figured it was just about "rave drugs" in trance clubs and such but now I'm starting to wonder if I should cover my ass and stay in the studio... Sorry for the rant but I don't think Tom Daschle could descern trance from experimental stuff and I don't feel those who inforce this law would be inclined to look out for someone who just makes the music and doesn't give a shit how kids enjoy it. I'm not saying I want kids to do drugs at my shows (it should be about the music) but I'd be naive to think nobody smuggled anything in. I guess leave your stash at home kids, if this thing passes, and we might be able to keep having get togethers with descent music.
