I am concerned for nightclubs. Richmond, whose conservative city fathers
already hate nightclubs, had its daily paper run an editorial cartoon with
Death waiting to pay a cover to get into a nightclub. Combine these latest
tragedies with some of the already draconian, anti-youth laws going into
effect and it does not take a genius to see that this industry is under the
gun. Its too bad. Its a real shame, because with file-sharing and the major
corporate labels losing tons of money (and not being able to pay all their
lawyers), independent live music was poised to take on more stature up to
this point. Now everybody is going to have to pay for more security guards
and sprinkler systems. This is a great time to get involved and stand up in
support of these small businesses. Go out this weekend and spend a few bucks
at your favorite local muisc dive. Damn Great White.
Thanks,
Scott
