"Karaoke at your friendly neighborhood bar. Taking your girl out for a spin on the dance floor at your friendly neigborhood bar. Jam night at your friendly neighborhood bar"


None of these are things we are entitled to, nor are they rights in any understood sense. It's not a shakedown, it's called paying for what you are using to bring in the customers. You are not entitled to having a profitable bar on every corner.

Obviosly Congress agrees with you, so all I can do is watch and complain as the Music Dies. Is is sad watching the large coporations shut down anything not owned or produced by them, oh well. Just turn on the radio and listen to the same crap on every station, dido movies, dido TV, dido newspapers, and soon dido friday night as only ASSCAP approved venues (big rich bars) will be hosting bands.

It is hard to believe yall musicians really want to put thousands and thousands of bars out of the live music business. But like you said, there is no laws saying bars need to be profitable and thier is no law saying they have to hire bands ether. We will think of something else to entertain our customers. Like, wet t's, on line games, pool/dart tournaments, gambling, or whatever. Live music is not the only game in town.
