Musicians for open borders

By Michelle Malkin  •  July 6, 2010 04:52 PM

JOIN THESE ARTISTS IN THE BOYCOTT OF ARIZONA!

NEW ARTISTS JOIN THE SOUND STRIKE!!

NINE INCH NAILS • CHRIS ROCK • MAROON 5 • GOGOL BORDELLO • MY MORNING JACKET • BEN HARPER • RY COODER • PITBULL • STEVE EARLE • BILLY BRAGG • SWEET HONEY AND THE ROCK • ANTI-FLAG • THROWING MUSES • STATE RADIO • AZTLAN UNDERGROUND • DJ SPOOKY

…AND HAVE JOINED:

CYPRESS HILL • JUANES • CONOR OBERST • LOS TIGRES DEL NORTE • RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE • CAFE TACVBA • MICHAEL MOORE • KANYE WEST • CALLE 13 • JOE SATRIANI • SERJ TANKIAN • RISE AGAINST • OZOMATLI • SABERTOOTH TIGER • MASSIVE ATTACK • ONE DAY AS A LION • STREET SWEEPER SOCIAL CLUB • SPANK ROCK • SONIC YOUTH • TENACIOUS D • THE COUP

Oh, yeah. “The Coup.” Remember those nitwits — last seen gloating in front of a photo of the Twin Towers on fire after 9/11?

At least one Arizona concert promoter (who also opposes SB1070) recently responded to the boycotters and noted the consequences for small businesses in the arts and entertainment industry:

The people who will feel the negative effects of the boycott the deepest are local concert venues, including non-profit art-house theatres, independent promoters, fans and the people employed in the local music business. If the boycott continues, it is all but guaranteed that some of these venues will be forced to close their doors.

…The truth is, a boycott is an easy gesture that doesn’t require much more than a statement and removing a date from your tour schedule.

Heck of a job, rock stars.

    Aw man, you mean I have to get rid of all my Los Faggots CDs?

    The good news is, the vast majority of bands on this list already belong in the trash by virtue of their lousy musicianship and not their misguided politics.

    Hmmm. I don’t see the big rock bands named. Guess the almighty dollar still reigns.

    I don’t see any country music artists either. Guess they’re just interested in performing for their fans rather than performing for the liberal dog and pony show.

    This list is probably the most exposure some of these people have ever gotten … and I doubt any of them have read SB1070 …

    Just jumping on the boycott bandwagon out of la-la-land hoping to promote themselves … they don’t really care either way about SB1070 or the people being hurt in AZ …

    Only name on on the list that I recognized was Nine Inch Nails. Let them cancel their gigs…I’m sure that there are lots of local bands that would jump at the chance to take a few gigs because Los Faggots or Richard Cheese and Lounge Against the Machine have their collective panties in a wad.

    Little Boots is the only newer artist I listen to, and I wouldn’t expect her to join this being British and all.

    I wonder how they’ll all react when other states seek similar legislation. Boycotting half of a country starts to limit your options.

    There’s only one name on that list that I’m truly disappointed to see…Joe Satriani. His music, (mostly instrumentals) is what inspired me to pick up a guitar and learn to play. He is/was a master of the Ibanez guitar, and I’m actually sort of crushed that he put his his name on that list. Scratch 1 inspiration. :(
    At least I didn’t see the name, Nuno Bettancourt.

    Every one of the artists named (ex. Mr. Cooder) must surely know that it is against the Geneva convention to play their music to Prisoners of War and Guantanamo Bay detainees, since it violates international agreements on torture.

    Of the subsequent lists, I’ve heard of Rage Against the Machine, Rise Against, and Kayne West of course. The first two are notoriously left-wing, my kids can’t stand listening to them.

    If any of them sound like some of the stuff I’ve heard (including from my own basement!), it’s no loss to Arizona.

    The boycott will succeed in closing down venues, which will result in fewer venues available for a growing number of musicians. (Artists now will get free health care so more people will spend more time on the arts creating more artists for Pelosi)and more competition for musicians (and I use that term loosely).

    More artists and less venues means these morons won’t be able to get gigs, which they need to make a living.

    They must be planning on just living off of the government but will probably boycott any government checks from Arizona. (cough sarc).

    They will all be singing the blues soon enough.

    My guess is that I’m exposed to some of these groups because their fans enjoy playing their “music” at decibel volumes that cause seismic activity when their vehicles go rolling by.

    If that’s the case, Arizona comes out the winner. I would call it “Addition by subtraction”.

    At the next beer summit we’ll drink Coronas
    The people are hurting from the increase in taxes
    But he complains about Sarah Palin saying “You betcha”
    Policeman at Harvard just doing his job
    But he acted stupidly said the racist mob
    Passing laws the people don’t want
    Just confuse em with words and really small font
    I got the Obama Blues
    My candidates always lose
    I got the Obama blues
    Just gotta pay my dues
    I got the Obama blues
    Waiting for the next really bad news
    I got the Obama blues
    Not Islam but Americans he sues
    I got the Obama blues
    Where Republicans are always booed
    I got the Obama blues
    Cause common sense is taking a snooze
    I got the Obama blues
    The next election I can not lose
    I got the Obama blues
    Will that gulf spill affect my cruise
    I got the Obama blues
    Too bad for Israel and all those jews
    I got the Obama blues
    He fooled us all with his clever ruse
    And now I got the Obama blues

    Do you listen to Johnny Winter, Hendrix, Jimmy Page, and Peter Frampton?

    Man, did I ever! :) Actually learned to play “Hey Joe” not long ago. The guy was an innovator. (shrooms and LSD notwithstanding) :)

    Hey, they all know 3 chords.

    1. electrical
    2. vocal
    3. firewood

    And they know progressions, or at least progressives.

    And some of them have probably done time as well as know 4/4 time.

    And Democratic politics are duly noted.

    I won’t miss any of these elitist, traitorous bastards, I’m so out of touch I haven’t heard of 5 of these clowns. Boycott these phony’s, where the hell do they think they make their money.

    Bill Whittle of PJTV and others are starting a new production company comprised of American citizens. The idea is to make movies for America not against America like the scum bags like Stone, Spielberg, Hanks and others are making. The new company has been named Declaration Entertainment I joined, if you want a change in America’s entertainment get involved.

    Their pushing a little harder everyday folks…get prepared if your not, it’s going to get ugly.

    Here’s the official list of musicians for open borders.

    There are reasons why this gaggle, of mostly publicity seekers, play nothing and blurt nonsense into microphones…while the rest of America play by the rules and actually work for a living.

    I guess that”standing for porous borders” is one one of those reasons.

    Artists Call to Boycott Arizona

    Oooooooooh. I guess that Trent Rezner (Nine Inch Nails) and Zack de la Rocha (Rage Against the Machine) still need to be considered “bad asses” in their old age.

    Trent Rezner

    Reznor struggled with depression, social anxiety disorder, and the death of his grandmother…Reznor began abusing alcohol and other drugs. He eventually became addicted to alcohol and cocaine.

    Zach de la Rocha -

    In 1981, De la Rocha’s father suffered a nervous breakdown, took his religious ideals to extremes, and destroyed his own artwork. When Zack would visit on weekends, his father forced him to fast, sit in a room with the curtains closed and door locked and help destroy his father’s paintings. Not long after, his mother stopped the visits.

    I don’t know, I think I’ll let these two rocket scientists tend to their inner-children before I start listening to their misguided views of geo-political politics.

    I’ve told my guys repeatedly that we’re just clowns,minstrels,we make pretty noises for people & they pay us for it,our opinions ain’t worth squat unless they’re about music.People who pay attention to what performers say & think their opinions are worthwhile are shallow & dumb.

    But don’t listen to me,listen to the music.

    Not to be outdone, washed up actors Dustin Hoffman and Meg Ryan have decided to boycott Israel, according to the Jerusalem Post tonight. Hoffman and Ryan both canceled plans to attend an Israeli film festival but neither had the guts to publicly say that they were joining the left wing Israel boycott movement. This way they can tell the boycott movement people that they (Hoffman and Ryan) are honoring the boycott of Israel while at the same time whining to the Israelis that “if only my schedule permitted”, I would go to Israel. Since neither Hoffman or Ryan is presently shooting a movie, both actors have wide open schedules. Neither one has the courage of his/her convictions. I would boycott Ryan and Hoffman in protest except there is no movie to boycott. Neither Ryan and or Hoffman gets much work in Tinseltown these days.

    As a former veteran of the Music Industry, working for one of the Major Label distribution companies, I feel comfortable commenting on this issue.

    Fact is, literally, the majority of bands and so-called “artists” on this lists can’t even sell enough recordings to support themselves. They’re looking for a politically-correct bandwagon to attach themselves to, which might drive some sales at the cash register.

    I’ve spent considerable time with many “artists”, and most of them couldn’t find the bathroom, if they didn’t have a manager or personal assistant to figure it out for them.

    A few couldn’t get their zipper down without help. And I’m talking “artists” a lot bigger than the no-talent a$$clowns on this list.

    They’re playing to their usual nightly audience of two people. Mom and Dad would be proud.

    Not.

    Moore plays the belly-bloat-bongo, and the smack-that-ass-tambourine, and the double-chin-whiz. He’s a one man band.

    Hey Moron 5- Just deleted all your songs from my iPod. I never need to hear you again you spineless weasels. The rest of the looser ‘artists’ that no one ever heard of will jump on any publicity bandwagon in the hope of a few downloads. Memo to Nine Inch Nails- no one cares any more. Quit trying to be relevant; Trent you’re like 50 now, right? Give it up man, and leave the politics to the adults.
