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.
