I used to like Jason Isbell

[tenureplan]

I even tolerated some of his new political music. But having venues require proof of vaccine is a bit much.

 

[J-Dawg]

Proof of vaccine OR negative test I thought.

I have a feeling he will probably cancel the Brandon Amp show, you know, since Mississippi doesn’t really jive with all of those restrictions.

Jason is the man for standing up for science and public safety - great to see the trend he started being followed now by venues all over the country. Don’t like it , don’t go. Simple

 

[Maroon Eagle]

I seriously doubt a cancellation will happen since Brandon Amphitheater is operated by Live Nation (Red Mountain is a subsidiary).

Isbell’s just exercising his individual/business right to serve folks who meet certain obligations.

I’ve said it many times that he’s a folk rocker and people who like his music think he’s country or a country rocker because he’s from Alabama.

Once folks understand that Isbell is a folk rocker you can judge him by those standards and not by being from Alabama.

 

[Mobile Bay]

Go get your shot

 

[vandaldawg]

Me too. Now I love him.

Unless you're a religious, straight cake maker...

 

[J-Dawg]

Oh, I’m going. I can still like someone’s music and not like their politics.

As a matter of fact, I would think the majority of my favorite artists have opposite social and political views than me.

ETA: however, in Isbells case, I don’t like the albums after Southeastern or Something More Than Free as much. Starting to sound repetitive. Fat, drunk Isbell was more my cup of tea, but more power to him.

 

[Maroon Eagle]

Even if.

That Colorado bakery won their case in the Supreme Court, you know.

Link: Here.

 

[hatfieldms]

He isn’t the only one. Mempho music fest announced today you have to show proof of vaccination or a negative test to attend this October

 

[Maroon Eagle]

Yeah. I wasn’t really a fan of Reunions.

It was a couple steps down from Nashville Sound which may not be one of his top two albums but Vampires was a song worthy of being on Southeastern and Something More Than Free.

Dude, if you ever enjoyed Isbell, you're already a lib. Come out of the closet.

 

[Emma’s Dad]

Like Steve Earle, his politics sometimes gets in the way of his musical presentation. No denying he is one of the Americana/Folk genre’s best songwriters. I too like his early stuff— some of the best when he was with DBT. GD Lonely Love is haunting and beautiful and probably my favorite of his. But Outfit, TVA, Alabama Pines are all superb IMO.

 

[NOATLDAWG]

how is this not a covid/vaccine thread?!?!!?

 

[Maroon Eagle]

When it’s a music business thread?

 

[tenureplan]

Public safety? If an unvaccinated person goes and gets it from another unvaccinated person it's kind of on them is it not?

 

[SheltonChoked]

Even if.

TIL being unvaccinated is a protected class...

 

[ronpolk]

The saints are requiring the exact same thing. Fully vaccinated or a negative test.

 

[ronpolk]

Yeah. I wasn’t really a fan of Reunions.

It was a couple steps down from Nashville Sound which may not be one of his top two albums but Vampires was a song worthy of being on Southeastern and Something More Than Free.

I actually like reunions better than Nashville sound. But neither are as good as something more than free

 

[Mobile Bay]

No, because it affects everybody. If you and I agree to a gunfight that is still not legal because all the bullets we fire may not hit us, but may strike another.

 

[NOATLDAWG]

Cool. So, discussing hospital capacity rates also would be fine? It is not directly about Covid/vaccines...

Why are you posting in the thread?

 

[Maroon Eagle]

If a person chooses to express himself or herself in a certain way by making a particular choice, then that choice may or may not have consequences.

As I mentioned before, Isbell is simply exercising his right to perform among people who meet certain criteria. And he has the right to do that.

 

[8dog]

In fairness, thats the City doing that

 

[ronpolk]

What does it matter who is requiring it?

 

[8dog]

Because its not the saints requiring it. And the entire point of the thread was about a certain person requiring so i thought that was an important distinction

 

[Dawgg]

Oh this **** again

 

[ronpolk]

So a government requires it and it just is what it is but an individual or business requires it and it’s wrong?

 

[8dog]

I dont care who requires it. You just misstated what was happening. Its not a huge deal

 

[hatfieldms]

What does it matter who is requiring it?

Well I think because the original post was blaming Isbell.

I have no clue who is leading the charge. Unknown Isbell is ok with it as are most bands

 

[Slow Natives]

Isn’t this a Covid / vaccine thread?

 

[turkish]

You’re even dumber than I thought.

Isbell? Yep, Ignorant fool is more correct
