The sponsored events were part of Live Nation's Washington blitz to sell itself to lawmakers and the media. They've gone from 4 lobbyists to 37. One new lobbyist is a former chief of staff to Amy Klobuchar, the company's biggest critic.

Touring musician Isa Burke’s response to the Guardian piece on how expensive touring has become. Musicians are expected to go into massive debt while label execs profit off of our labor. Label employees should be paid fairly, but why are musicians the ones left holding the bag?

Truly devastated by the damage done by Delta to my 20 year old martin guitar. So many memories just gone. Absolutely beyond devastated. Please repost. Delta needs to be held responsible.

Student protesters were right about segregation in the early '60s, right about Vietnam in the late '60s, right about apartheid in the '80s, right about Iraq in 2003, and right about wealth inequality in 2011. Seems generally bad to side against student movements.

I bet whenever they invite just one friend to hang out with them, it gets REAL INTENSE, REAL FAST.

🧵Billie Eilish is using fan to fan face value resale on her new tour, following after Pearl Jam and The Cure, among others. Anyone can resell their ticket if they can't go, but only at face value. Brokers and resale sites hate this idea. Here's a thread to clear up some myths:

I agree with Mr. CEO. When has a poor kid getting their hands on a cheap guitar ever changed music?

The only reason Deerhoof can afford to continue is bare-bones touring, one crew, tiny equipment, self-produced records, and we didn't have kids. Even so, our income hovers near the poverty line every year. I don't understand how newer artists do it.

Spotify continues to make decisions that purposefully hurt the musicians and artists that make the music their platform runs on. ALL musicians, songwriters, and artists should be paid fairly for our work! No more pay-to-play schemes, payola, or poverty-wage royalty payouts.

Spotify said we’re going to raise prices, lay off 1500 employees, make record profits and pay artists less

Gather 'round, dear friends, for today we unfurl before you a treasure trove of memories; a tale spun from the threads of our adventure across North America, directed by Elliot Arndt.

[as I drop a 2000 pound bomb on a hospital] protesters of this have gone too far

Our baby ‘Nothing Matters’ just turned 1 years old!! This is the song that started this whole journey for us, when we put out our beloved little pearl we had no idea how many people it would reach and it’s been an honour to share it around the world.

In October 2022, we joined with a diverse group of stakeholders to call for a breakup of Live Nation / Ticketmaster, explaining how that monopoly has harmed artists & fans and makes bad practices 'industry standard.'

It looks like DOJ took us seriously! cnn.com/2024/04/16/bus…
