Chicago As A Monopoly Board

A vibrant music scene is healthy for a city. Chicago is known for all types of culture. Time marches on and waits for no one. Music keeps changing and moving as it should.

There are many places within the city limits to see and hear all types of music. Many of these places are being bought and sold. Entertainment is a tricky business. The aging music consumer is affecting the equations of all live music experiences. Technology,the corporate world market, and fickle styles of fashion are accelerating culture. Liscencing, taxes, and venue locations are waiting to change after the reshuffling of politics, banking, and real estate. The live music scene in Chicago has allways been dizzying in great and disappointing ways. Like a board game the money of/in/and for musical  entertainment will again appear to be separate and independent  yet it's reality has never been so unified!
