You literally just read an article on a site owned by Yahoo - I think a lot of people don't realize how big the media side is. New CEO is a media guy before Tinder, so this makes sense.

The article is basically saying that you shouldn't blindly trust authority, which is totally fair. The example is also fair, though without the nuance of the guidelines being for commercial restaurants and the like. The issue though is

As a musician I wonder what would happen if I play my own music, that I own 100% of the rights and permissions for. Or do a live concert of my own music.

Glad it's making a comeback - basically 80's new wave making a comeback. Though I find a lot of the new stuff is cookie cutter, people just trying to recreate an exact Bladrunner/Outrun exact sound. I make more of a new wave
