Who will soon be going to a live concert?


A friend and I bought tickets to see Emmylou Harris on Oct. 5th in Santa Rosa CA. Proof of vaccination is required. I wouldn't go otherwise.

Saw two amazing live concerts last week ...

10/21: The Kronos Quartet, who played three world premiers, it was exceptional: https://kronosquartet.org/events/detail/new-york-new-york-46/

10/22: Solo Chris Thile.  My 11th time seeing him since the pandemic started.  He continues to improve.  Also played three songs I had never heard him play, after seeing him 24 times.

Support the artists and venues you love!!!


Just bought tickets to Lucy Kapansky in Ann Arbor, Mi. Vaccination proof required at the door
I'm going to see a jazz band, but will call ahead to find out if they will have masks strapped to their horns ...
Hmm? Let’s not cherry pick stats… So Covid is the new kid on the block, it has definitely caused its problems. HOWEVER, we seem to forget that the flu kills an average of nearly 1 million people world wide between its direct effects and its secondary infections, every year. Keep in mind, the flu doesn’t discriminate. It kills young, old, fat, skinny, healthy, sick etc. This is an ANNUAL reality and has been since we knew what the “flu” was. Here’s the problem. It barely gets a headline. We don’t require people to be vaccinated, we don’t shut down the world, we don’t fire people for personal choices, and never have. One must ask? Why? I’m not going into that. The handling and fear mongering of this pandemic is shameful and staggering. Tragic as the pandemic has been, the effects of this, long term, far outweigh the damage the actual illness has done. 
2019 worldwide flu stats. Note not a mask mandate in sight, and vaccines readily available.

Regarding the question, yep I’ll go to concerts at places where they allow people choose their risk profile… not be forced into compliance. To those that think I don’t “get it”, a good friend of mine just died of Covid complications. My perspective is no different. Every death, regardless of why, is tragic for loved ones. If my friend had died of a heart attack riding his bike, I wouldn’t quit riding my bike…
