[QUOTE="Sacreligion:1051298"]Check out this little chestnut: "Why All-Ages Shows Should Be Allowed in Massachusetts: - They work in other markets (Upstate NY, CA, etc.) - The cutoff age for people in MA going out to see live, local bands is 26, according to a 2007 study. After that, they move to uber-suburbia and cite "adult responsibilities" like dayjobs as an excuse for not going out. If you get a kid hooked in young, live showgoing will be engrained in them for life. - Kids have the greatest amount of disposable income; they don't have mortgages and car payments to worry about. They'll buy tickets to a show, and a band's merch. Bands might actually be able to not lose money on shows. Wow, what a concept! - Alot of clubs use the excuse, "Oh, kids are gonna try to underage-drink." We know that's B.S. First off, many of the born-post-1990 set are militant straightedgers. Secondly, things haven't changed much since the 80's - underage drinking happens in vacationing parents' basements - NOT in bars. Kids just want to see live music. Besides, it's the bouncer or bartender's responsibility to be properly checking ID's. - Another excuse clubs use is, "Well, the bar won't make money." Make all shows ALL-AGES/21+ to drink with proper ID. - Why should the ClearChannel (aka LiveNation) affiliates have 100% monopoly on all-ages shows? They only book the big-name acts. It's time for the local scene-eschelon promoters to have say and pull. And it should be about UNSIGNED LOCAL BANDS. - Young bands should be able to cut their teeth playing on real stages, not just someone's basement or garage. - Restrictions on what segment of the populace is allowed to enjoy live music = CENSORSHIP based on demographics. The arts should be able to be enjoyed by all at will. Contact your congressperson and get the ball rolling! Bands will benefit. Clubs will benefit. Young people will benefit. Our entire scene will be rejuvenated. " Bitch be retarded.[/QUOTE]
