My first concert was Rush in 1979. They played Tingley Coliseum in Albuquerque, NM, and I was about 16 years old.

Once I hit my college years, my first punk rock concert was Rock Against Reagan on the Washington DC Mall. The bill had The Dead Kennedys, MDC (Millions of Dead Cops) Crucifucks, Reagan Youth, and Toxic Reasons. It was a FREE concert held over the July 4 weekend.

Back in the olden days, 4th of July shenanigans were at all-time highs in DC, our nation's capital. There was a spirit of rebellion. Reagan was unpopular with youngsters and was seen as an authoritarian "War on Drugs" president.

We organized a monstrous in size "smoke weed" march, and police helicopters flew over the concert, shining their spotlight on the concert audience. The law enforcement helicopters were intended to intimidate the concertgoers, but our numbers were over 40,000 rebels, and everyone knew there were insufficient police. They couldn't arrest everyone right.

After the concert, we marched to the White House with the young "all-age show" crowd proudly blazing marijuana "joints" to protest the ridiculous marijuana laws that led to high incarceration levels for non-violent offenders.

The thought among the resistance was that these laws were intended to enrich the prison industrial complex (attorneys and prisons) that fed off this predatory practice. There were even cases whereby judges were paid by private prison companies like sales commissions. The more jail time, the more kickbacks for judges.

Whether it's been Woodstock, the hippie movement, the grateful dead, the punk movement on the West Coast (SF Bay area & Maximum Rock and Roll magazine) Heavy Metal, Speed Metal, Hip Hop, Reggae even Country Outlaws like Merle Haggard, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash et al or even Elvis gyrating his hips ROCK IS ABOUT REBELLION

So what is up with The Thunderbird Music Hall in Pittsburgh scanning driver's License. It's not cool and its all nonsense, absurd and quite ironic that some place that fashions themselves as a groovy haven for "alternative" culture is using surveillance tools that help The Federal Government.

We're living in authoritarian times. The last thing needed is for rock (the one respite from tyranny) to aid the surveillance state. What they are doing is the opposite of rock. It would be like going to a concert and having them scan your nervous system somehow to see if you dropped acid. Look around the world, or even Pittsburgh.

-There were draconian lockdowns

-There is a new Federal ID for boarding planes called the REAL ID; avoid that legislation and use old fashion blue passports instead. This is being promoted by your Dept of Motor Vehicles Dept.

-The Federal Reserve is rolling out a Central Bank Digital Currency after they blow up the economy with bailouts for the wealthy.

-The Central Bank Digital Currency has these disturbing characteristics:

• GPS technology, WE KNOW WHERE YOU ARE

• Facial recognition, WE KNOW WHO YOU ARE

• Instantaneous credits and debits, PAY YOUR TAXES NOW

• Fully Programmable, Big Daddy controls the on/off switch. YOUR FUNDS HAVE EXPIRED

• Social credit merit system, DO NOT SPEAK OUT

-Next will be "climate lockdowns." You are already hearing whisperings of this. Listen carefully in the immediate future as executive orders will be couched as "climate emergencies" or excuses to limit freedoms like the freedom to have an internal combustion engine.

Yes, they are coming for your gas stove. And your furnace, dishwasher, aircon, and lightbulbs. The climate fairies demand no less. Amid failing banks, crashing jobs, or historical inflation, it's troubling how out of touch, repressive, and tyrannical our government has become.

We asked chat gpt about driver's license scanning protocol. Bars scanning driver's licenses is primarily done for age verification and to ensure compliance with legal drinking age requirements. Here are the details regarding why bars scan driver's licenses and whether it raises concerns about privacy or surveillance:

1. Age Verification: Scanning driver's licenses at bars helps establish the age of patrons to ensure they meet the legal drinking age requirement. By scanning the license, the bar staff can quickly access the patron's date of birth, which allows them to determine if the person is of legal drinking age. This is bullshit , there are laws on the books that kids cant use fake ids
   

2. Efficiency and Accuracy: Scanning IDs can streamline the age verification process by automating the verification of the birthdate. It eliminates the need for manual inspection, which can be time-consuming and prone to human error. This is bullshit, if bouncer can't read DOBs don't hire them. Try this Thunderbird, gather 10 driver's licenses and time how long it takes your "security staff" to read a patron's DOB. These are called "time and motion" studies. (tongue in cheek sarcasm)
   

3. Surveillance and Privacy Concerns: While the primary purpose of scanning IDs at bars is age verification, it's essential to consider potential concerns about privacy and surveillance. Scanning IDs could potentially collect and store personal information from individuals' licenses, such as names, addresses, and license numbers. There is a possibility that this information could be retained or used for purposes beyond age verification, raising privacy concerns.

4. Data Protection Measures: To address privacy concerns, bars and establishments that scan IDs should have appropriate data protection measures in place. This includes implementing secure systems to store and handle personal data, following relevant privacy regulations, and establishing clear policies regarding data retention and usage.

5. Transparency and Consent: Establishments should inform patrons about their ID scanning practices, including the purpose and handling of personal information. Providing transparency and obtaining consent from patrons can help address concerns and allow individuals to make informed choices about sharing their information.

It's worth noting that ID scanning practices may vary between different jurisdictions, establishments, and local regulations. If you have specific concerns about privacy or surveillance, it is advisable to inquire directly with the establishments in question or consult local privacy laws and regulations to understand the specific practices and requirements in your area.
