Chicago's Promoters' Ordinance Kills Independent Music: 06 of 07

Chicago's Promoters' Ordinance Kills Independent Music: Part 06 of 07

A documentary by JaGoFF.

"... will pretty much drop a bomb on Chicago's independent music community, if not nuke it entirely."
- Jim DeRogatis, Chicago Sun-Times

"... it doesn't meet any public need and is very ill-suited to Chicago's independent music community - as written, it is unconstitutional."
- Henry H. Perritt, Jr., Professor of Law, Chicago-Kent College of Law

"I cannot imagine a major metropolitan city, a world class city with the stature of Chicago having an ordinance like this on the books. It's frankly embarrassing ..."
Greg Kot, Chicago Tribune

"... a threat to the creative communities throughout the country and sets a very dangerous precident - as one city goes, so goes another. Rinse and repeat."
- John E. Showbiz, TheRecordIndustry.com

"this really has a chilling effect..."
Shawn Campbell, CHIRP [Chicago Independent Radio Project]

"The ordinance will reduce the amount of music in Chicago, make events more expensive for consumers, dampen the large and growing economic engine that is Chicago music, and create a much less supportive business climate for Chicago's small music business community."
- The Chicago Music Commission

Do you get it yet? If you allow the government to be involved in any facet of your life, they will be. They will shake you down, rip you off, and leave you their slave. If you think it is a joke, it’s not. The government does not work for us, we work for them. They will and do tell us where to sit, when to jump. It has to stop. When they come for my music, I really get angry!
