Originally posted by LikeASong:I can understand that a fan can be pissed, and I agree that cancelling a concert is a pretty drastic move, but I heartfully agree with Bruce (and Dieder fwiw) on this. We're in 2016 for God's sake, laws are supposed to evolve and go forward together with people's thinking, not the other way round. And if cancelling a concert, or ten concerts, or a hundred concerts, make people realize this, then go ahead Boss. And if some of your fanbase don't understand that, then shame on them. Thank God, it's not only rock and roll, and we like it that way.




    The bathroom rule is a touchy one with me. While I am completely against discrimination, I don't think this falls within the parameters. I think a business, as long as it provides facilities, should be able to keep them as they like. Government should not interfere, and by the same means, if you are provided with a restroom to relieve yourself, you should not be able to claim discrimination. You were not refused the right to relieve yourself. That is how all these things end up getting so much attention in the media (and more often than not, blown out of proportion...and, I' not saying other parts of this North Carolina legislation isn't backwards ass, I only speak for the bathroom) If I feel a business discriminates against me, I don't give them my business and I spread the word to my friends... End of story. As someone who lives in the south (Georgia, who by the way just rejected the "religious freedom" bill) I see both sides to the story. On one side, it is reprehensible to discriminate based on someones race, creed or orientation... on the other hand, discrimination is a 2-way street. Can't it be said that the parent of a child who would rather not have to be in the situation of explaining to their 4 year old why that lady stands up to me... can't they feel discriminated against also. There's a fine line. A very fine line... And much hypocrisy on both sides. All I'm saying... Oh except, how would you be feeling if you flew from Spain to see the Boss in the States to find out once you landed that he cancelled?

    U2 would use this as a platform like they did in Arizona in 1987. They would play the show and use it as a platform to lash out at the injustice of the State. That's how you win battles, that's how you get things done. You show up and speak out... And you rally your audience to speak out as well...
  11. Heres the issues that are important to me and need to be getting the focus (in my humble opinion, as always...)
