General Discussion

If I were at a restaurant, jazz band or no band at all, the last thing I would want is for a political speech between the salad and the soup.

Then... let's say a band -- -better yet, all bands, decide to give speeches at the bars and restaurants that hire them, how would the owner decide which bands to hire.

N.J. -- a band was hired to perform at a Red Bank bar. The bank covers Springsteen. A week before their gig, the owner cancelled their gig because his patrons wouldn't put up with "Springsteen's bullshit." This was reported in the Newark Star-Ledger and here, on D.U.


and adding --- there have been several people on D.U. who have experienced overload about the shit that Trump comes up with on a daily basis. I have posted and messaged them to suggest that maybe take a break from the stress by not reading or watching the news. Things aren't going to bet better or worse because I stop following what is going on. Non-political "safe spaces" are sometimes needed.
