I was being sarcastic, actually. I knew they passed a law but was implying I haven't noticed it and doubt that I will for a long time.
Live music in bars is dying and as much as I hate cig smoke, when they outlaw cigs in bars, seems that that could be the end. In Louisiana. Although, I read forums here and there and some have said it drops off and then picks back up. However, it's just one more nail in the coffin of regular live music in bars.
I can't forecast the future but I dunno, seems pretty bleak to me. The DWI roadblocks, I think, are greatly contributing to the demise of live music. I'm not advocating drinking and driving at all, just making a point. Now, it's what... 1.8 beers and you're legally drunk? I dunno, seems maybe they might have gone too far. But what do I know. One could take the stance that any alcohol in the blood is grounds for imprisonment, I suppose. But it doesn't bode well for live music since they kind of go hand in hand.
