"Can't Blame Jesus" a new song from the world famous garage rock band from Dallas, Texas, Kenny & The Kasuals.  And no, they didn't record the track from a nursing home.

There has been something bothering me for over 30 years.  Why do most of the street-level opportunities, for a band to play on-stage in front of a live audience, have to be at a bar?  At most bars, it’s obvious the stage was an after-thought.

Since when, do liquor sales correspond to record sales?  If the bar doesn't do well the night your band plays, you'll not get another booking - right?  It's easy to feel defeated, under the circumstances.  Try not to feel that way.

I wish the major record labels become part of an effort to correct that by designing a chain of all-ages night clubs, no liquor - just music and merchandise.  They could spread them all around the , and the and use them to nurture newly signed artists and artists they might be courting.

I say bands that sell cocktails don't necessarily sell albums.  And what about the kids - they are at the age where any income is most likely expendable.  They have money - but no overhead.  Kids create the best buzz and are more likely to spend their last few dollars on music or a t-shirt than on warm beer in a plastic cup.

I think it would better the music industry if record labels got more involved in the process from the ground up.  They might not be in as bad of shape as they are, if they would.

I have ideas if any label wants to talk to me about it.
