Yes, very liberal. And a lot of them are very well informed, in the way that Reagan described them, “...know so much that isn’t so.” The hubris is neck deep.
But holy cow they are getting testy lately. :)
I have read that it’s very possible that 90% of independent music venues will not reopen. I spent a lot of years working at a music venue, and have a lot of friends among musicians. It really hurts me to see them in such situations - not only the small venues that are their bread and butter, but the festivals and fairs that pull it all together for them are all gone. They are trying to find innovative ways to stay viable, and I cheer them on for that.
Yes, I know what you say, that many of them are very far left and don’t quite understand how that affects them, but not all of them are. And most of the people in the club where I worked were extremely far left, it was quite uncomfortable.
Shout out to Dale Watson and what he’s doing in Memphis at Hernando’s Hideaway. He’s doing the best he can with great music and an unbelievable sense of humor.
