I put a lot of blame on lawyers and the overly litigious US community for suing the fucking Christ out of anyone and everyone for anything and nothing. I remember insurance rates going way up in the early 90s after stagediving became old hat and every 98-pound bespectacled pissant started doing it, breaking their own pencilnecks, then suing the clubs for not preventing them from doing it. Dozens of companies paid out over 100 million fucking dollars (look it up!) after the Station fire, even companies that had nothing to do with the fire, including a *number* of insulation companies (though only one company made the insulation in that place, it was never proven whose soundproofing insulation was used so they ALL paid out astronomical settlements rather than lose even more in court/lawyer costs), and even the fucking beer distributor. It was a feeding frenzy for the SHARKS who smelled blood in the water - How much of that actually went to families? Long-term effect is, insurance rates are sky-high. That being said, gimme a good warehouse show any day. I'm more than happy to frequent a bar that has a show I actually want to see, so book something that's not jangly collegiate crap, wigger bullshit or cookie-cutter death metal - Getting feet through the door is what'll pay your insurance rapes, I mean rates. At least people can smoke at warehouse shows, I'd rather smell smoke than sweaty fatsos, thanks. Ok, off the soapbox.
