I've Been Thinking:
The entertainment industry has a taken a huge hit from Coronavirus. From Broadway to Fenway they are feeling the pinch.
Two Israeli live concert producers have come up with almost the same solution for producing live concerts while adhering to social distancing.
The solution is a variation on the theme of a “drive-in movie.”
They are proposing using outdoor space large enough to accommodate 1,000 cars, stages, speakers, performers and screens. They would restrict patrons to two people per car.
Food would be available, probably through delivery to the cars.
The organizers have scouted spots in suburban Tel Aviv and in the South of Israel near Beer Sheva. They are investigating sites in the Haifa area, too.
This flashback to the era of the drive-in is a very good idea.
Live performances with the windows down augmented by individual car speakers or phones with apps could provide for the perfect concert during the era of COVID-19. The stage can be used to screen movies when not being used for a concert.
The more things change, as the saying goes, the more they stay the same.
