   They have real jobs? Who knew..

   If an “artist” no one has heard of boycotts, does it make a sound? LOL.

   Note that this, at least according to the Left, would qualify as a “boycott”; individuals choosing not to support the Dixie Chicks and even showing their displeasure (silly to me, but whatever) by destroying their CD’s are “fascists” and violating “First Amendment rights”.

   Also, if you’re not making anything to begin with ’cause you suck, what have you got to loose by “boycotting”? How do we know Arizona would have wanted any of these nobodies to play their town anyway?

   I recognized the names that others have mentioned previously.

   Nine Inch Nails – I used to really enjoy them, but they, err Trent Reznor(he IS NIN), doesn’t have near the clout in the music world as they did in say, the mid to late 90s.

   Cypress Hill – I doubt their boycott will matter. Have they done anything in 16 years?

   Rage Against the Machine – Expected. I would have been angry if they weren’t on the list. LOL

   Only recognizable name I saw in there was 9 Inch Nails. The rest were a bunch of even more obscure nobodies.

   Here’s my thing. You know, one of the charges the Left hurls against the military on a regular basis is the charge of being reckless when civilians are accidentally killed in some action or another–lately, in Iraq or Afghanistan. The implicit accusation is that we did it on purpose. The argument is that only an evil people would target noncombatants as part of their war strategy. We deliberately target noncombatants, therefore we are evil.

   Then look at the Left’s strategy with respect to the Arizona border security law. The Left has adopted a strategy of total warfare, akin to their hero’s strategy, FDR, in WWII. Total warfare includes the notion that the entire populace is a legitimate target for attack. The idea is to break civilian support for the regime by attacking them directly so they “feel” the war.

   From what I’ve seen, the Left completely decries this type of warfare as barbaric (and so does the Right, by the way). The country as a whole has gone away from total warfare as evidenced by our reliance on precision guided munitions and careful combat operations.

   But look at the Left in this instance. They purposefully target people who have no direct control over the institution of the law in an attempt to cause so much economic pain and suffering that it causes them to rise up against their leaders. It’s obvious that the point is to kill popular support for the legislation by making the people suffer.

   What gives?

    I recognize one of the artists. I was thinking of going to his upcoming concert, but this is the deciding factor to not go.

    The past couple of years I have been taking my teenage daughter, my friends daughters and their friends to some concerts for a couple of particular groups that are not on this list. The truth is that I liked the groups myself and was taking the girls as cover for me to go

    Well the groups were on tour recently, and they put out a blurb that they were cancelling their Phoenix concerts. I posted to them that they had no idea how much money I brought to them (tix, t-shirts, CDs, marketing, etc)

    The money I spent on gas, food, parking, clothes, drinks, VIP tix, plane tix, hotels, rental cars, doorman/taxi/shuttle driver tips and everything else that went along with it… gone. They are only hurting the venues and the low level workers. But Im done with them – it was fun while it lasted.

    Being from Arizona, yet not a frequenter of the coffee house, trendy internet cafe, or ACORN meeting center, I decided that I better look at this list in case one of my favorite bands is touring and decides to keep the “pedal to the metal” whilst driving the VW Van through I-40 or the repainted school bus blinders on I-10.

    Having scrolled through this list several times, I can safely say that I am not going to miss out on anything.

    Actually, come to think of it, I have never heard of any of these “bands” per se.

    Funny, not even U2 is on this list? Guess they understand the power of the $$$.

    In the end, these “bands” should have actually rallied the cry to come here, perform, and sway all our opinions with their talent. Guess they have no desire or talent.
