Kevin Bresnahan Posted August 9, 2018 Report Share Posted August 9, 2018 (edited) 39 minutes ago, JSngry said: You should reach out to him in your Vote For Hank initiative. Every vote matters! quite apart from that, what stirred the letters talking about people complaining about political comments? If Barton still reads organissimo, maybe he has already voted for Hank? EDIT: Although I highly doubt that he gets any internet access!!! The political stuff stems from several Jazz artists who have recently released recordings with political messages. DB did stories about these recordings and the artists got very political in describing the recording. Several anti-Trump stories seemed to get a pass but when Terence Blanchard went with a "Black Lives Matter" stance, the letters to the editor started up. You can read it in the July issue: http://www.downbeat.com/digitaledition/2018/DB1807/single_page_view/30.html Edited August 9, 2018 by Kevin Bresnahan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster_Ties Posted August 9, 2018 Report Share Posted August 9, 2018 (edited) Could one of the mods kindly edit this thread-title to say "bill barton (former board member)". Or something that will quietly differentiate bill barton from Bill Barron (two names that are far too similar). Not suggesting anything about barton be divulged in the thread topic title, but something to help keep them clearly separate at a glance would be helpful. I don't ever remember seeing any of this thread before today. Edited August 9, 2018 by Rooster_Ties Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clifford_thornton Posted August 9, 2018 Report Share Posted August 9, 2018 I still think about Barton from time to time. It's hard not to. Wonder if the editors of DB know the story? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a general-circulation magazine not a social service, right? Country club or not, a minimum security prison still houses felons who have lost some rights, but I'm pretty sure that access to Down Beat is not one of them. Nor am I sure that Down Beat would have access to a Sex Offender Down Beat Subscriber register. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford_thornton Posted August 9, 2018 Report Share Posted August 9, 2018 Hopefully that Venn diagram of subscribers and sex offenders would have minimal overlap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
