This is a discussion for a different forum.

Really I thought we were discussing all elements of a post-corona karaoke world on this thread, the good, the bad, and the ugly?

OK, mrscott. Since you are offended by the recent posts, let's get back on track. Let's talk about the place you host karaoke in... and the people who don't want to follow the rules and take precautions. And let's talk about how you are not in control of your show since you let your singers do what they want such as refusing to use mic covers.

As a professional, YOU set the rules. You set the safety guidelines on how the show is now going to be run. But obviously you let your people get over on you and you're throwing safety out the window because of some moron singers.

Take a look at this picture. This is what it's like sharing a mic and not using mic covers.

Wow, I'm so glad we got back on track.

LoneRanger, you keep turning almost every topic into your own political battleground, and that needs to stop. Yes, you have a right to speak, but not on someone else's topic. That's how I see it.

P.S. Read the posts MrScott both you and Capt Frank talk about political items in this thread, are you abusing this topic also, or is it only me?

:!: Personally I wouldn't do any karaoke right now, since it requires being inside, coming in close contact with strangers, who might or might not follow guidelines. The photos of the Wisconsin bars opening up is enough for me. Let's face it health care providers even catch the virus in the most controlled hospital settings, do you really think you can keep a bar safe?

You might be right LR... and if I did have some input on a political topic in this thread, I apologize to the OP for doing so. But in fairness, it was also in response to someone hijacking this thread INTO a politically charged topic.

Is it really hijacking, aren't we a touched in the world we live in? Karaoke does not exist in separate only onto itself, it is part of the fabric of society, that fabric is under extreme stress right now, and is in danger of ripping. Everything is effected by what is happening out on the streets today in all 50 states. You think because you live in a remote area, that you won't be touched by all of this, let us hope not. Most of us though have to deal with our neighbors, and we are not islands by ourselves.

Yes, it is hijacking. It does not add to the original topic, it only detracts. Unless you are adding to the subject in a positive manner, then it is hijacking. You can justify buying tires as to the relevance of relating to karaoke, but it's not adding to the intent and meaning of what was posted in the first place.... just as we are hijacking the topic now..

I can understand your fears and your hesitance about returning to karaoke life. If I were living somewhere else, I might feel the same way.

Dear Mr. Scott Head...

You seem to think that just because you live in a remote area of the country, you are immune to the Corona Virus. Nothing could be further from the truth. You share the same risks as if you were living in New York.

Remember, all it takes is just one person, just one. Can you honestly tell me that you know where everyone who comes to your venue has been? Or who they've been in contact with?

Do you realize that someone from another state, who has the virus, can travel to visit a friend in your state, stop in at your bar, and affect everyone there? Do you? Does that make sense to you?

The bottom line is you are just as much at risk as anyone else. If you want to host karaoke during these times, at a bar that's not taking precautions, that's your problem. I really don't care what you do. Remember the song: "Everybody plays the fool".

Remember, this virus is still with us. It continues to rise, not subside. Each week that you go to that bar puts you more and more at risk. The odds eventually will turn.

Personally, I think it's too early to allow social gatherings in confined places like bars... but hey, what do I know.

So, please remember, my little pookie face, you are NOT immune. Each week of hosting only increases your risk.

Good luck to you. You're going to need it.

Thank you. Thank you, very much.

Nor will your over zealous attempts of thinking you are helping people is repulsive.
