WENTZ BATTLES NEW MUSIC LAW
Rocker PETE WENTZ is urging fans to rally against a proposed new law in P hiladelphia, Pennsylvania which would demand stringent checks on every li ve gig scheduled in the city.
Local lawmakers plan to introduce regulations requiring venue owners an d promoters to submit applications to police 30 days before every schedul ed show.
The checks would ask for proof of alcohol and entertainment licences, s ecurity plans, and copies of the contract between the promoter and the ve nue.
Wentz is concerned if the new legislation gets the go-ahead it could pr event numerous concerts from taking place in Philadelphia altogether.
And the Fall Out Boy star’s taken to his online blog to convince fans t o sign a petition against the proposed plans.
He writes, "Philly has always been good to us, let’s be good to Philly.
Read about a bill that will jeopardize live music in Philly and consider signing it or pass it on to a friend." Wentz then links to PetitionSpot.com detailing the pledge and a petitio n that fans can add their name to.
