James McMurtry- another Covid fearing soy weenie

Cancelling 9/11 show at Red Clay Theatre in Duluth, GA. Rescheduling for 4/9/22 when there will be no more covid in the air. Others continue to play the venue (Radney Foster on Friday night). Venue/Etix is automatically transferring tickets to that date instead of doing the right thing and offering a refund. There is a "gotcha" in the fine print but there is also a route to appeal. Tried to set aside politics in favor of his music but last time I will knowingly give my money to a soy commie.

Is he being a douche about it?
I don't fault an entertainer for postponing a show because he thinks Covid is a big deal and doesn't want to lead an event that could spread it. I don't think it's a big deal or he would bear responsiblity if that happened, but I don't mind someone reaching that decision.
Now, if he does it while lecturing everyone about how awful they are, different story.

It’s Radney Foster, and if you’re at all familiar with James McMurtry this shouldn’t be the least bit surprising.

He’s had this open letter up on his site since the pandemic started, you tell me:
Link
quote:
This pandemic would be a trial under any president. I fear it’s more of a trial under no president. No one is truly presiding over our government at this time. We don’t have a Roosevelt fighting off fear itself, we don’t have an LBJ with a flashlight under his chin promising help to New Orleans after a Hurricane, We don’t have Jimmy and Rosalyn Carter in hazmat suits walking through Three Mile Island to show their faith in the scientists that saved the east coast. We don’t even have George W. Bush, who after cowering in the rabbit hole on 9/11, pulled himself together, crawled up out of the ground, went to ground zero and did his level best to do the job of being president, being there for us. All we have is a real estate pirate, trying to save his businesses and his political future. Trump says this country wasn’t built to be shut down, as if any modern country was built for such. There is open talk of having to balance dollars against deaths.It’s true, we might not be able to weather a depression in our time. The last one was weathered by people who were born in the nineteenth century and had seen depression before. The country was largely rural, the supply chains were more localized. But are we to just give up and let people die so their grandkids can waterski? I must ask you Mr. Trump. Can our economy and your political ambitions absorb two million dead Americans? Do the math, for once, and ask yourself, “How many people do two million people know?” Two million dead, will leave a lot of living who will remember. ? And to you, Texas Lt. Governor Dan Patrick, I must ask, what if the virus takes one or more of your grandchildren rather than yourself? A virus can mutate quickly. The U.S. has seen quite a bit of coronavirus infections in young adults. Children have died from the virus. You don't get to tell the virus whom to kill. Would you risk burying one of your grandchildren to keep from being called a socialist? I will humbly await your answer, sir.

It's a business decision. If a member of the band or the crew gets covid, then the tour gets shut down and the money that has been spent to get the tour going is lost. And McMurtry is not in the same money league as Radney Foster who can probably absorb the cost.

He's been a douche in his lyrics for a while now.

Based on what?
I was setting aside my political bias to hear the minstrel sing Choctaw Bingo. I won’t do that again and won’t knowingly spend money to see some lib commie whose views I diametrically oppose.

IDK. choctaw Bingo might be almost perfect, with Just us Kids a close second.

I love McMurtry despite his liberal leanings and he is gearing up for an album release with some solid singles released lately

I’d be shocked if the fine print isn’t just to ask for a refund

I saw him open for someone years ago, and I got up and hung out at the bar until he was finished. A) he sucked and B) he just couldn't stop spouting political nonsense.

No, he doesn't suck.
