Live Nation Plans to Eliminate Jazz from American Culture

Don't count on watching Ozzy Osbourne bite the head off a bat at the proposed Live Nation music festival on Fort Lauderdale beach next year. City commissioners made clear Tuesday that they would only agree to allow the massive event next spring if the bands are palatable, and family friendly. That means probably no Metallica, no Incubus.

Live Nation is the largest global producer of live concerts and produced the popular SunFest outdoor concert festival in West Palm Beach in May. Barbra Streisand's name was bandied about. The Rolling Stones came up in a positive context.

Live Nation Artists officials are speaking only in general terms about which acts they'll go for -- except to say that there will be
ABSOLUTELY NO JAZZ!

“We're doing everything we can to eliminate jazz from American culture,
SO NO JAZZ!" Mike Luba of Live Nation Artists told commissioners, eliciting a few “boos" from the audience.
