just thinking about it from reading it here.... the amount of record keeping required by clubs and other such places that hire live music will be astoundingly complicated. If you have traveling bands and the bands have 5 members each.... over a period of 6 months, assuming different bands each week, that's 130 different people's tax info to file, pay, and keep up.

Unintended consequences..... hire fewer bands because it's just too much paperwork to keep it all straight.

Way to go California legislators.....
