Nick, I've talked with Kenny about this...everytime it's the same he denies everything. Making a list of demands is a concept that is way to complicated for him.

fair enough, but the system works in that he fucks it up himself in a way that EVERYONE can see and there is no opinion or guesswork.

If we say he has to do very clear things that can easily and publically be recognized, in a tangible way, we can ALL see the results and check them. It will let him fuck it up in a way that can be accounted for.

For instance, "Kenny, you must pay all the bands you owe money to within four months. In that time frame these bands will not work with you and will speak out about the ways they believe you have caused them and others harm. If in that time frame you have paid those bands in good faith, and you have them contact us to tell us this (we will contact them only once (1x) at the end of the four month period otherwise), then you must be required to sign formal agreements with bands that you work with in the future. We will view the contract you have written up (it must be drafted with the aid of approved legal counsel)...."

etc etc

I mean in this way if he DOES follow through, then fine, like I said: everyone wins. He is in a position never to fuck anyone again, and if he doesn't follow these reasonable demands then he deserves his fate.

he does have a point...if there's is something formal like this, on top of all of the bands agreeing not to play his shows as independent decisions (which they really all have been for the most part). It will really put the heat on him...he'll either fade out, disappear immediately, or (longshot) pull a total 180 and start treating bands right.
