Thanks, Travis Tritt, for Accidentally Saving Lives With Your Dumb Covid Policy
Country music fans in Indiana, Mississippi, Illinois, and Kentucky potentially had their lives saved on Monday when everyday hero Travis Tritt canceled four scheduled concerts at venues that enforced certain Covid-19 safety protocols. According to a press release from Tritts publicist, the Heres a Quarter (Call Someone Who Cares) singer said hes placing his two bits on the line.
Im putting my money where my mouth is and announcing that any venue or promoter mandating masks, requiring vaccinations, or pushing COVID testing protocols on my fans will not be tolerated, Tritt said in a statement. Any show I have booked that discriminates against concert-goers by requiring proof of vaccination, a COVID test, or a mask is being canceled immediately.
With those words, Tritt mightily struck down concerts slated for Muncie, Indiana, on October 23rd; Philadelphia, Mississippi, on November 6th; Peoria, Illinois, on November 11th; and Louisville, Kentucky, on November 13th. However, it appears that Tritt has yet to inform the venues themselves: tickets are currently on sale for two of the shows via a link on the singers website.
According to his statement, Tritt is decidedly anti-mandate when it comes to the Covid-19 pandemic that has claimed 700,000 U.S. lives and stands in solidarity with those who oppose mandated measures that have been proven to keep people safe.

I think it's been years since I listened to this clown.

Lost a few kids and parents but the rest are quite happy about it. We are now coming out with QR codes for the vaccination, so less fraud of forgery of vaccine cards.

(2,190 posts)Will be coming here to California and I'm seeing him in November. Masks *and* proof of vaccination or a negative test are required. I'm not sure how much of that is Randy and how much is CA, but at least he's not cancelling concerts like a whiny baby.
