        You'll want to slightly amend that subject line as he won the SB the year after the undefeated season as well. -- nm - crash davis May 4, 07:32 3
        
        For a guy with no titles, you sure are a Championship Truther. -- nm - Will Hunting May 4, 07:37 2
        
        Oh I have titles. Some are even complimentary. - crash davis May 4, 07:40 1

Jax/concert going friends: From my friend working in booking "Expect virtually every summer/fall tour to postpone to 2021" - MDH May 4, 06:30 41
- This is what I'm expecting. This was set to be an awesome summer. Trying to stay positive that there's stuff to do this fall but it's hard. -- nm - zunkskunk May 4, 07:22
- I've been prepared for this for a few weeks now. My friends (and one who's a club owner) thought end of summer, but now even they're on the same page. - JaxSean May 4, 06:53 3
  - DC had about a dozen new venues pop up in the last 1-2 years. So many are going to be closing.It was too many to begin with, but it hurts. -- nm - MDH May 4, 06:54 2
    - Yeah, small dive bars (like our friend's) that are strictly bars/concerts are f*cked. - JaxSean May 4, 06:56 1
      - It was so interesting what happened in DC, developers built new venues in "hip new areas" - MDH May 4, 07:00
- we keep waiting to hear about the Montreal Harry Styles concert set for June 30th... -- nm - Beaker May 4, 06:48 19
  - It's cancelled. I don't have to check. -- nm - loosilu May 4, 06:50 16
    - I honestly wouldn't be surprised at some gatherings/shows going ahead later in the summer in Canada - the struggle is in border crossings right now. - Reagen May 4, 07:03 2
      - That makes sense. June though, I wouldn't go. -- nm - loosilu May 4, 07:07 1
        
        Notable big things are still cancelled into July. I'm thinking August, here. -- nm - Reagen May 4, 07:12
    - Likely Postponed. They're not officially cancelling things - less refunds. -- nm - JaxSean May 4, 06:53 1
      - Right, of course. -- nm - loosilu May 4, 06:54
    - We're really going to all have to check on you when everything opens back up in a month aren't we? -- nm - MDH May 4, 06:52 10
      - I would be very surprised if there were any major concerts in June. -- nm - loosilu May 4, 06:55 9
        
        I don't mean concerts and all, just more so general "opening of business" :-) -- nm - MDH May 4, 06:56 8
        
        I can tell you this, there is no possibility that the Coast Guard will open for normal by June. They are planning to manage hurricane season without - loosilu May 4, 07:00 2
        
        yikes to the IM -- nm - Pippy- beanie baby hoarder May 4, 07:01 1
        
        I think they can totally do it. We are prepping for it now. Season starts June 1. -- nm - loosilu May 4, 07:02
        
        Oh. Yes, I expect a lot of business to reopen. I think Trump is doing it far, far far too soon and there will be a second wave. - loosilu May 4, 06:58 4
        
        But he got calls from 100s of Governors! -- nm - JaxSean May 4, 07:00 3
        
        South Korea thinks you're doing great! (275x the deaths!) -- nm - Reagen May 4, 07:13
        
        that just means a few of them called TWICE -- nm - Trumpers May 4, 07:02
        
        So many governors, thanking him! -- nm - loosilu May 4, 07:01
  - You couldn't pay me to go into Quebec this year. They are so fucked. -- nm - Shaun May 4, 06:48 1
    - oh for sure, no way we are going, just waiting :) Then have to cancel hotel rooms -- nm - Beaker May 4, 06:51
- that fact that LiveNation has a large Saudi ownership is going to be a full stop for a lot of concerts for me in the future. -- nm - colin May 4, 06:46 3
  - why? -- nm - tRuMaN May 4, 06:49 2
    - because Prince MBS who had the American reporter killed, bought a large chunk of Live Naton -- nm - Remlik May 4, 07:48
    - He doesn't want the Saudis to know he's going to the Backstreet Boys. -- nm - JaxSean May 4, 06:54
- Still have a couple that haven't yet, but of course they will. Sort of annoyed that they're just sitting with my funds until then. -- nm - pmb May 4, 06:38 5
  - this is my irritation too. Though Live nation has given me the option to refund my money now or go to a House of Blues show in late August -- nm - Pippy- beanie baby hoarder May 4, 06:54 4
    - of course no news on a refund for my super expensive My Chemical Romance ticket refund -- nm - Pippy- beanie baby hoarder May 4, 06:55 3
      - Venues/promoters are doing whatever they can to "postpone" over "cancel." Means they can keep the money. -- nm - MDH May 4, 06:56 2
        
        its some capitalist bullshit and I'm not happy about it -- nm - Pippy- beanie baby hoarder May 4, 06:56 1
        
        Agreed. I had a few things cancelled: two shows at Kennedy Center, 1 broadway show (all refunded), one small venue concert (not refunded) -- nm - MDH May 4, 06:58
- I've noticed more than a few recognizable names using Stageit.com to do online streaming concerts. I've watched a couple and they've been pretty good. -- nm - sycor May 4, 06:38
- No band wants to hold the COVID concert. -- nm - loosilu May 4, 06:35 3
  - I dunno. I’d go see COVID-19 ft The Cure. -- nm - Qale May 4, 06:37 2
    - *golf clap* -- nm - JaxSean May 4, 07:11
    - Took me a minute. :P -- nm - loosilu May 4, 06:51
- Yup, found out last week that Phish has postponed their summer 2020 tour to next year. -- nm - znufrii, silly old man May 4, 06:32
