Fireside post vol.1

one of the greatest venues to ever come into existence was the Fireside Bowl in Chicago, Illinois. Many legendary bands have made their presence known and many memorable shows have been played; especially in the 90's to around 2004 (when shows stopped to pave way for the bowling alley to function primarily as a bowling alley). Even though they recently started putting shows together again, the magic is not quite there. It's no longer an all ages venue, which is what made the Fireside Bowl great back then. So, to commemorate this gem that was the breeding ground for "upcoming" artists, I have decided to start posting various performances from the Fireside Bowl throughout the years.

"business model"

can the industry survive in a post-napster world?
1) People want uninhibited ownership of their music.
2) A few lawsuits can't change a massive public notion of what the law should be.
3) The health of our creative landscape relies on rewarding artists directly for the music that they create.
4) People want their music to acquire portability.
5) People want their music to have permanence.
6) People want a lot of music.
7) People aren't willing to pay what they used to for music.

Mr. Reynolds thinks music should be socialized, with government involvement. sounds good, but can it work?
