I got this from contactmusic.com Here is Kanye West on the Arizona Immigration State Law: “”When Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat, they arrested her. As a result, people got together and said, ‘We are not going to ride the bus until they change the law.’ It was this courageous action that sparked the Montgomery bus boycott. What if we got together, signed a collective letter saying, ‘We’re not going to ride the bus’, saying ‘We are not going to comply. We are not going to play in Arizona. We are going to boycott Arizona?!’
1)OK, first shut the fuck up.
2) What the hell does Rosa Parks have to do with this shit.
3) When the Sex Pistols sang “Anarchy In The UK”, when Sam Cook sang “A Change Is Going To Come”, when Woody Guthrie sang “Do Re Mi”… they were from the inside singing out. Cook was fucking lynched for sleeping with a white woman. The members of the Sex Pistols HAD NEVER HAD A JOB IN THEIR LIFE BECAUSE THERE ARE NONE. All of these fucking rock hacks are singing from the outside in.
4) Only a complete dick like Zach de Rosa would think self-censorship is an answer to a law you don’t like.
5) If Zach et al give a shit, they should do the opposite. They should go and play a benefit in Phoenix. Oh, and include some Spanish performers as well. From Los Lobos to Enrique Iglesias to Elvis Crespo to arc Anthony -Pitbull, all those Reggaetron guys: PEOPLE WHO MIGHT BE ACTUALLY EFFECTED BY THE FUCKING LAW should stand up and sing.
How many of these guys dya think have read the law? maybe Zach. Conor? Kanye? Pitbull???
Hypocritical, lazy, thoughtless bullshit merchants. Lotsa fucking whinging and not a solution in sight.
