Travis Scott's dangerous history


Listen Later

Eight people were killed at Travis Scott’s Astroworld music festival in the US state of Texas last Friday.  Scott’s history leaves you wondering if he could or should have done more to prevent the tragedy.  There is also a criminal investigation happening.  The investigation follows reports the local police chief visited Scott in his dressing room before the concert warning him trouble was brewing.

 

Joey Guerra is a music journalist with the Houston Chronicle who was at the gig; and Randy Sorrels is a Houston lawyer who says lawsuits are already being filed by victims and people in the audience.

 

Where to now for Travis Scott?    And what is it about his music and his gigs that bring back the moshing and intensity that used to come from genres like punk?
