<br/><br/> "And now, after more than two weeks of death, disbelief, anger and finger-pointing, what have we learned? The disasters Feb. 17 [2003] at the Chicago dance club E2, where 21 people died, and Feb. 20 at the West Warwick, R.I., rock venue The Station, where 96 perished, have sent a shudder through the music industry, and prompted an instant reassessment among promoters, club owners and safety officials about how they go about the business of staging live entertainment." (CHICAGO TRIBUNE) This article notes that while some "insiders are calling for stricter guidelines, including federal legislation, to prevent future tragedies in the concert and nightclub industries, others shiver at the prospect of more government intervention, especially in Chicago, where city officials have been notoriously unfriendly toward music clubs and large gatherings of any kind involving young people and rock or dance music."
