“I’m all for freedom, but if you’re dead, you don’t have any freedoms at all. It’s probably important to stay alive before you start questioning your liberty.”
Isbell explained to MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle that he’d gotten positive feedback on his decision from people working in the music industry and particularly in the touring sector.
“People who work at the venues and who work in the music business understand,” Isbell told Ruhle. “From everything I’ve heard so far all the response I’ve gotten from people in the business has been positive because they understand that we could go back to not working at all. A lot of these smaller venues, they’re not going to be able to reopen if they go through another round of shutdowns.”
Some of those smaller venues and industry workers are located in places where they’re also facing pressure from leaders who want them open with zero requirements. “They’re just getting so much pushback from some of the governors of certain states who want to kowtow to their political base and try to make people think their freedom is being encroached upon,” Isbell said. Isbell had announced at the end of last week that his shows at Austin’s Moody Theatre and Tulsa’s Cain’s Ballroom would be requiring proof of vaccinations or a negative test within 72 hours.
