someone mention Bryan Adams?? he just told Mississippi to shove it
WASHINGTON — (CNN) Bryan Adams has canceled a concert scheduled for April 14 in Mississippi to protest a new state law that critics describe as discriminatory.
“I cannot in good conscience perform in a state where certain people are being denied their civil rights due to their sexual orientation,” the Canadian rocker wrote on Instagram.
Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant last week signed a controversial “religious freedom” bill that critics and business interests in the state say is discriminatory against gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people.
Bryant said he signed the bill into law “to protect sincerely held religious beliefs and moral convictions of individuals, organizations and private associations from discriminatory action by state government.”
Adams said he hopes that Mississippi “will right itself,” and said he looks forward to the day when he “can come back and perform for all of my many fans.”
Mississippi’s law is part of a wave of legislation seen as “anti gay” that has prompted corporations and individuals to use their economic muscle in protest.
Bruce Springsteen, for example, has canceled a show in North Carolina to stand in “solidarity” with those protesting a similar law in that state.

From where I see it. Those who instantly agree, and take sides with Springsteen, and the others; tend to prove this quote rather correct...."Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt." Abraham Lincoln

I love to make Liberals Cry, and Whine.
So, this is for them.

So ESPN doesn't have enough backbone to let Curt Shilling repost a joke with a lot of truth in it? People have been using the anatomically correct rest room for centuries, and now its insensitive to want it to stay that way? Drop dead, ESPN.
I see it rather as commenting. Springsteen has been irrelevant since the 80s. It's not like we can jump through the computer and sing and dance. HE is the one that opened his flap and the MSM has made him out to be more important than he is in my world.
So MY quote would be: "if you can't stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen".
