Concert Venues Are Still Closing After the Pandemic — My Local Club Just Shut Down

DENVER — Tennyson’s Tap was the kind of music club where, on packed nights, the lone frazzled employee serving drinks, running sound and manning the door might ask one of the bands to help out and collect the $5 cover charge.

Bam Margera Hospitalized and Placed on Ventilator
