  • Yah. Pearl Jam spent years in limbo because they thought everyone would join the fight. But no big name artists ever did because no one wanted to rock the boat. During COVID ticketmaster / clear channel/liveNation/ iHeartRadio whatever have continued to consolidate. They own the tickets they own the resell websites they own most of the big venues they can demand merch sales at the venue. If you refuse they can remove you from playing their venues.

    At this point it would take 10+ huge artists to final kill this beast. We are talking Taylor Swift / Beyonce big that actually have complete creative control. I don’t even think most top artists have that. They would have to organize everything and they would probably lose union contracts for stage craft and audio, lights, transportation. Basically they would have to start their own ticket & touring companys that outdoor fields and sports areas? and would have to stick it out for years and convince a good majority to stop buying tickets from any place using Ticketmaster.









  • Hypothetically no. You’d have a better chance with one of two ways. 1. If the radio receives RF signals someone might be able to find the correct RF signal that would allow them to change the station on a radio or turn it off and on to the point of frustration. Again this is only if it has the ability to receive rf signals and the the send/receive is in range 2. An FM transmitter with the same radio frequency that would over power the radio signal in the local area. If you have ever heard two radio signals at the same time it is because they are competing on the same band. If there was a strong enough signal close enough whatever was playing on the more powerful signal would be heard. Unfortunatly if the hypothetical person just decided to play a CD this would not help in any way. Blocking FM transmissions could be prohibited in areas based on the fact that emergency services might use them. Pressing a panic button on a car alarm is not against the law but it is very annoying to anyone around.
