   Musician Clyde Lawrence needed only two minutes to sum up why Ticketmaster's monopoly is bad for everyone except... Ticketmaster.

   His video went viral and I see why. Watch it for yourself and prepare to be enraged: https://www.comicsands.com/clyde-lawrence-ticketmaster-senate-testimony-2659311698.html?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=toot&utm_campaign=sand

     @georgetakei This is why some bands decide to fly below the corporate radar, and still they will bring in good income for decades, even after they stop touring in small venues.

     @georgetakei I worked in the industry for several years, I’ve been enraged a long time. We need to break up all the monopolies in this country, but I’d love to start with Ticketmaster/Live Nation!

     @georgetakei understood how this affects smaller enterprises, unsure how i can really help for example native american comedians, tribal musicians, that only perform at casinos etc.
