Under the federal plan venue operators, promoters, music managers and talent agencies can apply for non-repayable, two-part grants that cover as much 45% of a venue’s 2019 revenue, capped at $10 million in the first round, followed by a supplemental grant in spring 2021 valued at 50% of the original grant.
We just contracted for another 100 million Pfizer vacs. We should have everyone vaccinated who wants it by May. Open the concert halls. This Summer will be back to normal despite the efforts of the commie Governors.
A “give them taxpayers’ money” grant. Great. I’m a musician and have been in a dozen “bar bands”. The whole industry/hobby is being decimated. You aughta hear the whining.
But it does speak to how our culture is being decimated by democrat mayors and governors. This will not last. People will act out. First a guy here or there, and then, well, see tag line.
>> so many in the music industry who have faced loss and uncertainty for far too long through no fault of their own.
“Learn to code”
“Learn to dig ditch”
“Learn to sack groceries”
“Go back to school”
No more sacred than all of the other professions that have been put on hold for 10 months.
There are over 230 co sponsors.
Would you rather have us guve the money to Pakistan Venezuela and Syria?
Just send out blank checks and let them fill in the amount they want.
Cornyn is just another POS. Always has been. He is an arrogant SOB as well.
Big-name touring acts and their managers/tour operators will benefit from this huge giveaway. What about local musicians?
Why does the government have to subsidize multi-millionaire celebrity musicians and singers?
$10 million grant cap? You have to be kidding.
Think about the HUGE ticket prices these touring scoundrels routinely charge.
How can we feel sorry for fabulously wealthy celebrity musicians and bands?
Why is Cornyn so concerned about bailing out the entertainment industry, an industry which despises him and other Republicans, an industry which donates massive amounts to defeating Republicans? Why is Thom Tillis - a Republican who’s supposed to be representing North Carolina - so concerned about helping Hollywood? WTF is wrong with establishment Republicans?
Exactly what we expect from traitor Cornyn. I really hate that bastard
