I'm hearing the list has grown and now includes current stars such as Justin Timberlake, Jay-Z, Kanye West, Mary J. Blige, Madonna, The Rolling Stones and many others.

 

Can anyone confirm?

Why would anyone care? If this is news, serious news...than I can start to report to the world every time I change my underwear (which is once a day, if anyone cared). The more we look up to these buffoons the more we dumb down our children. This is all about headlines, nothing more. And it makes me sick, using a dead 17 year old to make money...count me out of that one.

Confirm they aren't going to Florida or confirm that Madonna and the Stones are even still alive?

1. I saw it on Facebook and not the news.

 

2. How are they making money if they are canceling tour dates? Seems to me like they lose money if they don't perform there.

 

3. If the list I saw is true and it is still growing doesn't Florida stand to lose a nice chunk of change of these stars refuse to perform there?

 

4. As long as Justin shows up at the YUM in December I really don't care. Just found it interesting that more significant performers are appearing to jump on board the Florida boycott.

While I'd never go to see either one of the them they both still make a boatload of money performing live.

I had read the boycott was not going to just be Florida but all states with "Stand your ground laws".

 

If the electorate decides to change the law in any state Great!!!

 

I just hope no state gives in because some musician decide to boycott their state.

 

BTW: Note to all those proposing the boycott against Stand Your Ground, SYG was not the law that was used in defense of George Zimmerman.

1. If you saw it on facebook I will assume there was some kind of link...news. Again, who cares. Hollyweird freaks.

2. Its all about name recognition...nothing more...nothing less:down:

3. Maybe initially....but that is two fold...how much money are they going to be missing out on. Tell me who will cave?

4. When Justin comes to the YUM in December I would rather be a zombie attacking Daryl Dixon with a loaded crossbow.

Which is why the boycott is ignorance on parade.

Everyone in Florida is ecstatic.

 

Absolutely! :thumb:

Love the Boss! Dislike his decision even though I disagreed with the verdict.

 

the only ones they are hurting are the fans who like their music.

1. Naw. No link. That's what made me ask if it is true.

 

2. I don't disagree there.

 

3. The musicians will cave before the state. I'm sure the boycott will end in 2014.

 

4. Who is Daryl Dixon? :lol: Justin is a bad dude. I can't wait.

Isn't Ky a SYG state? If Justin backs out he better make it known quick before we buy these tickets. And then he better shut his website down before I go nuts on him. Twitter too. He better be ready.

He ain't now where close to being as bad a dude as Daryl Dixon. PP92, meet Daryl Dixon. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n1dWfMkaiYc

By the way, I can find nothing to confirm the Boss is planning a boycott of Florida or any other state. Internet rumor.

From Fox19.com

 

 

"According to the Hollywood Reporter, the singer announced during a performance in Quebec Sunday that he will not perform in Florida again until the controversial Stand Your Ground law is abolished.

 

He also said he would not perform in any other state or part of the world that recognizes the law."
