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!"

Easy for them to say - they are all millionaires who live privileged lives and most likely live in very secure gated communities. So they refuse to play Florida? I thought their music was suppose to make the world a better place...so where are they going to play- perhaps a private party for a few million - at the lavish home of some murderous third world dictator? Give me a break...to not play is letting the bad guys win...apparently they are not bright enough to figure that out.

Nevada has a stand your ground law. Wonder how many will boycott Vegas?

I didn't say it worked all the time.

I said, percentage wise, it works better for blacks than whites.

I don't know who Trevor Dooley is but maybe he wasn't defending himself????

You really don't know who buys (or steals via downloads) what music today, do you?

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.

Does Timberlake advocate that the "government" overrule a decision made by the jury and lock up a man that has been found not guilty?

Get what done? Sounds to me like they are quitters and whining about Florida to me. Typical of liberals. It is also quite pathetic and shows they don't really care about their fans but care more about what the "mob" thinks of them. Mick can go back to Britain and fawn over that new baby for all I care. His relatives were probably trying to kill us back in the day anyway.

I thought Timberlake became a baseball scout.

There is only 4 or 5 acts on here that are relevant in 2013.

The rest are has-beens or never-weres.

I'm sure Floridians will survive. And Atlanta aint that far.
