'The reality that eight young people have died and that all the parties who should share responsibility for it are presumably very afraid to implicate themselves by saying 'sorry' to the families speaks loudest this week. That’s bullshit.' CraigSJ writes
Travis Scott built his reputation on a live show that teeters on the brink of chaos.
As Scott, Live Nation, Houston police, and city officials dance around the question of who could have seen the Astroworld horror coming, and as everyone close to this thing lays it on thick with thoughts, prayers, and mea culpas, we know what happens next. The potential for this tragedy to get charged to the game is very real. There is an awful lot of money and business savvy at work, and very smart people are watching out for their bottom line.
We’ll talk about the commodification of punk-rock aesthetics and maybe how the version of punk that’s trickling down through pop and rap charts lately made a grave mistake in separating the values from the visuals. We’ll wonder if we created a generation of music fans who treasure defiance but aren’t very discerning about what’s being defied. It will get much harder to book rap shows, and the ones that are allowed to happen will have a more intimidating police presence.
