The Musician Tariff


Listening to Heather Bambrick on Jazz.fm this morning I learned that the time to process a visa application for performers has doubled and that to get an expedited visa now costs $2,800, limiting the ability of musicians to schedule tours in the US.

I have such a hard time even finding a jazz club, learning that now we can’t even get musicians just makes me even sadder.

My apologies everyone, I forgot what we are dealing with here; that's what I get for trying to teach a pig to sing I guess.

I wonder if Russians in the 1930s were accused of Stalin Derangement Syndrome? Or Duarte Derangement Syndrome in the Phillipines? Or Orbanitis in Hungary? 

It is a nice, lazy way to minimize authoritarianism, I'll give you that.

Now get busy having this deleted - chop chop!
