    Live music may never recover if the lockdowns continue. They are even killing our culture.
    Their concern is over the disappearance of live music venues due to the lockdown, some would say their priorities are f*cked up given the realities, which would be worse, the temporary loss of live music or the permanent loss of life?

    Often some people with money know they will receive the best medical care and attention if stricken with an ailment and don’t internalize the dangers as say the average shmuck on the street does.

    And on top of that, they are wrong;

    Well the blues by whites is cultural appropriation. There is no argument that can be made to the contrary. But is a good kind of appropriation, compare it to "misappropriation."
    Imitation is sincere flattery in this case. But to argue the blues was not a black artform first is nonsense, if that is what gnatta is attempting to say.

    not "are going to have to do that" more like "have been doing that"
    and the bands never stopped playing before even during swine flu.

    By next May or so we should be at herd immunity (estimate) - but performers are not getting anything
    and they aren't employees getting UE or stimulus either / and they're arent always day jobs either.

    Nationwide the national average is 30% of small business are shut down - what good has it done?

    Shutdowns obviously negatively effect the economy, however, Covid on its own, left unchecked, with no addressing measures, would have done the same, probably even worse with more fatalities.

    Van Morrison has a song that actually has lyrics?

    Shocker!

    Will live music survive a post-coronavirus world?
    https://www.euronews.com/2020/04/25/...onavirus-world
    For rank-and-file, jobbing musicians across Europe, the lockdowns have been a disaster.
    Live shows are the most obvious casualty, but the bread and butter for many musicians: teaching, session work, recording and producing work with bands, has also dropped off.

    “Everything I had the diary - gone, in heartbeat,” John Mitchell, a musician and producer who tours with the bands Lonely Robot, Frost*, It Bites and Arena and runs Outhouse Studios in England, said.

    “I don’t really know what I’m going to do.”

    Saved roughly a million human lives in the US alone. (some of the "shut down" was not by edict, it is people changing behavior by personal volition.)
    When there is a pandemic, many small in person businesses are going to shutter, whether of not Fauci gives the good advice to stay home.
    Personally when I hear people are dropping like flies, I don't need someone to tell me to shop less, eat out less, stop going to gyms.

    And that is going to shut businesses, same as a bad product or a high price.

    I like his affected vocalizations in the consumer friendly rock pop genre long time.
