This is just another nail in the coffin. Here are the historical blows I have seen: 1 - Drinking and Driving Laws and awareness 2 - Increased competition for an audience with increasing reality shows and electronic/multimedia entertainment 3 - Rise of the DJ with Linedancing, Disco/Techno, etc 4 - Rise of synthetic musical genres Rap/Techno 5 - Rise of Kareoke making every musically illiterate jackass a star 6 - Entertainment tax - total stupidity period 7 - Smoking ban - moronic !!! 8 - Rockstar games - not sure if this is causing a revised interest in music or will just breed a generation of fakes that try to kill the real thing 9 - The economy - This just shows how disinterested people are now with live music in the bars because historically bars did better in difficult times because it was an escape for people Well said darlin…they have been trying to kill live music for years! This is just another nail in the coffin. Here are the historical blows I have seen:

1 – Drinking and Driving Laws and awareness

2 – Increased competition for an audience with increasing reality shows and electronic/multimedia entertainment

3 – Rise of the DJ with Linedancing, Disco/Techno, etc

4 – Rise of synthetic musical genres Rap/Techno

5 – Rise of Kareoke making every musically illiterate jackass a star

6 – Entertainment tax – total stupidity period

7 – Smoking ban – moronic !!!

8 – Rockstar games – not sure if this is causing a revised interest in music or will just breed a generation of fakes that try to kill the real thing

9 – The economy – This just shows how disinterested people are now with live music in the bars because historically bars did better in difficult times because it was an escape for people
