So the kid is amazing, but his name isn't Mile Cyrus, so he isn't allowed to play.
If they think the kid is being exploited then stick a social worker on them and monitor them. But to just stop the kid from playing... fucking egregious.

What bullshit, let the kid play. As long as it isn't conflicting with school, he is not being exploited, and he wants to do it, he should be able to do so.

That's fucking retarded. The kid can drink in a bar with his parent present, but if he starts playing ("working"), then the Johnny law appears. I can't believe somebody would threatened the kid's life either. I mean honestly, what kind of scumfuck do you have to be to do something like that?
At the least, I just hope he keeps practicing, because we'll probably be hearing of him in the future if he keeps it up.

You guys aren't looking at the bigger picture, he's learning a valuable life lesson right now that most people don't learn until their 20's. That lesson is: All your hopes and dreams will be crushed before they are realised.

The death threat was sent to the Booking Agent, not the kid.
This is pretty stupid, if the parents ok it and the kid is ok with it and his schooling is fine then there should be no problem with it, the money he gets is for fucking college, it's not like the parents are spending it on shit for themselves.

Maybe they're pissed that he can play 'Damn Right I Got The Blues', 'Killing Floor', 'Red House', 'Crossroads', and 'Voodoo Chile'
That kid's got a killer setlist. But this is bullshit.
