I recently read where many entertainers have removed venues
in the state of Florida from their list of appearances. Stevie Wonder led the charge followed by
Madonna, Jay Z and Kanye West. I guess
you could joke about the “blind leading the blind,” but that would be in poor
taste. All of these singers can afford to live anywhere
they please, yet they chose the USA and even raise their children here. Our judicial system may be flawed at times,
but it certainly is better than many other countries’ courts. George
Zimmerman was tried by a jury of his peers.
He was acquitted in the same state that Casey Anthony was acquitted of
the murder of her daughter, yet we didn’t hear about any entertainers boycotting
Florida when she was set free. I wonder
what their fans who were counting on attending their concerts think about them
bailing out of their home state? Not
that I’m interested in attending any of their concerts, but if I did live in
Florida and heard this, I’d boycott them. I
wouldn’t pay to download any of their songs, buy their CDs or attend any of their
concerts outside of Florida, even if they were the half time show of the Super
Bowl. Enough said.
