Boycott Arizona due to its newest immigration laws?
Blame Rage Against the Machine boy Zack de la Rocha and his fancy new club “The Sound Strike”.
This group of do gooders have decided to penalize an entire state for a law most of them didn’t vote for. Yes, thatll show them The rulers of the new country of ‘Arizonia’, shall be cast in to silence as these rockers refuse to play there until they get rid of that pesky law SB-1070 (which allows local authorities to question anyone about their legal citizenship.)
Conor Oberst, Kanye West, Cypress Hill, Rise Against, Sonic Youth, Tenacious D, Massive Attack, film maker Micheal Moore (WTF is he doing on a musician list?) Joe Satriani, Serj Tankian and Pitbull.
From de La Rocha (can I see your papers please by the way?)
“Fans of our music, our stories, our films and our words can be pulled over and harassed every day because they are brown or black, or for the way they speak, or for the music they listen to. People who are poor like some of us used to be could be forced to live in a constant state of fear while just doing what they can to find work and survive. This law opens the door for them to be shaked down, or even worse, detained and deported while just trying to travel home from work, or when they just roll out with their friends.”
Shut the fuck up- I think Ill boycott all of the above.
