In response and due to the ‘stand your ground’ law on the books in florida! Along with the great stevie wonder, the following acts have canceled (all) of their up-n-coming concert dates, in and around florida, indefinitely!!! Or until the law in florida is abolished.


Mary - mary
rod stewart
eddie levert
maze/frankie beverly
patti labelle
parliament/funkadelic
the rolling stones
madonna
alishia keys
usher,
will.i.am

Justin timberlake 20/20 vision tour was due to kick off in miami - he canceled and he quoted:

"i refuse to entertain a state who's government allows people to shoot-n-kill un-armed teenagers!"

These people don't believe someone has the right to defend themselves?

I'd actually believe they were sincere if they didn't travel with armed security guards.

This is all show and nothing more. They'll be back in Florida shortly. After all, they are capitalist pigs and they like money.

The performers are only taking money out of their own pockets. Once fans start going to other concerts these guys will realize the price of fame.

Not to mention that black people using stand your ground are more likely than whites to never be charged. Or, if charged, more likely to be acquitted.

The one law that actually helps blacks instead of hurting them and blacks want it overturned because it's "racist". Makes sense.

Not a single group that I'd bother to see, even if the tickets were free.
