NBC Dallas-Fort Worth New York Is furious about gay-bashing song cancels concerts
The seven-city U.S. tour of largely irrelevant Jamaican reggae singer Buju Banton, aka Mark Anthony Myrie, has been canceled due to the lyrics in one of his decades-old songs that he no longer play
He signed the Reggae Act -- but no fogiveness was given -- SO WHEN YOU KEEP ON HATING SOMEONE WHO HAS AGREED TO STOP HATING YOU -- THAT ENDS RECONCILIATION -- IF I WERE Buju I WOULD GO BACK TO WRITING SONGS ABOUT THE PEOPLE WHO ARE KEEPING HIM FROM EXPRESSING HIS PARTICULAR ART & LIFESTYLE THE WAY "HE" WANTS TO LIVE -- ISN'T THAT THE FREEDOM OUR GAY AND LES FOLKS CRY OUT FOR!!!! WHAT A DOUBLE STANDARD!!! PEOPLE GOTTA MAKE A LIVING -- I AM GOING TO FIND A BUJU ALBUM TO BUY!!!
Jesus Valadez, says:
Um wat? If you don't agree, don't attend the show. Simple as that. Damn party poopers.
Pavel Lishin, says:
The best part of Dallas's comment was when he found the caps lock key.
Fun fact - if you should be free to sing homophobic lyrics, and if you should be free not to attend concerts, doesn't it follow that you should be able to decide who does or doesn't play at your venue?

yes, but, you DON'T get to decide if people can smoke in there ;-)

In other news, this Sarah Crisman character is making an impression! Good outburst and I like <a href="http://www.pegasusnews.com/news/2009/aug/29/why-i-dont-hate-music-josh-venable-edition/">this article</a>, too.

ScoDo, you just like her because she hasn't got a restraining order out on you yet.
Travis Bush, says:
Jason..mmm, young Jedi..patient you must be..mmmhh!!
Jason Rice, says:
Good point.
Hey! That reminds me. It's been way too long since the last good Peg Pool. I'm selling squares in 15 minute increments till ScoDo is served.
Buck a square. -- An easy $50 for somebody.
Travis Bush, says:
ahah!! Another great one, freako!
Scott Doyle, says:
lol, didn't see her introductory post until just after that comment. =( But to think - after all I've done for you ingrates - can't give someone kudos without it being construed as <s>more</s> stalkerish talk!
While I'm being labeled, does this mean Erin Rice has joined Green Peace? <a href="http://www.feministsforlife.org/">FFL</a>? Tough to clarify from no closer than 100 yards...
Teresa Gubbins, says:
she has fled the country [to teach English]
jtmbls, says:
Oh, nice job Doyle! She had to leave the country "to teach English." Yeah, that's what I tell my stalkers too.
Jason Rice, says:
::that's what I tell my stalkers too.
You told me you had a dentist's appointment!
