Monday Roundup #155

Community notes:

• Some media coverage of the Horseshoe Tavern's cowardly last-minute cancellation a couple weeks back of a solidarity fundraiser for Palestinian activists and the disgraceful behavior of Horseshoe co-owner Jeff Cohen (though there's some interesting tea spilled in the article about deeper rancour behind the scenes involving J.C.). No word in the article or otherwise that I've heard of the 'Shoe/Collective Concerts apologizing or making amends, so they've made the shitlist.
