Thanks, Bob. Sorry, I didn't mean to be so glib with the sixties comment. I think a lot of us young-uns (I'm 31 myself) yearn for a lot of what the sixties held. And god knows we need experienced folk like yerself giving us the underrated but endlessly valuable "historical perspective." Was it easier to get a gig back then? I mean, I'm sure y'all had to hustle hard like all musicians in all decades. But it just seems like these days a reasonable flow of live music through a particular scene isn't a given anymore.
Therefore, venues using this PRO thing as another excuse to shut down their live music worries me as well.
It seems like a lot of people are finding a lot of excuses for shutting down live music these days.

"Defeatist Pessimists and Rose Colored Glasses Optimists are lonely companions, victims even. Both ideologies imply predestined outcomes, and therefore breed inactivity in its victims. Inaction is the only sure way to lose at anything in life. All positive action guarantees at least a fighting chance." -Brian Austin Whitney
