it's an open troupe - meaning anyone can join. You don't have to perform live if you dont want to either. it's free. We meet every thursday at the Firehouse for practice/lessons.
and we have the best tap dance troupe name ever.

the point of the boycott is to keep money out of Arizona. It's working, dude.
I don't agree with it because it's hurting our economy but it is effective. You can't argue with that.
i can absolutely argue with that. have you seen any republican lawmakers reconsider this bill since the boycotts started? if anything, they're digging in their heels even more. i agree with charlie levy's letter - the boycott is hurting the people that typically oppose 1070. until somebody with a little more economic impact follows through on a boycott threat, it's fruitless. but thanks for speaking out, gogol bordello (seriously?).the chinese are exponentially worse off than you, but that's not the point. i think the argument here is that a bunch of these bands are quick to play the "we're standing up for human rights!" card because it's going to get them some publicity and make them look like humanitarians and cost them relatively little (if not zero). but, for whatever reason (money) these bands weren't quite so vocal about human rights when they played china or eastern europe. in my mind, that makes them as hypocritical as the pro-1070 crowd that talks about defending the USA while they piss on the constitution.When i get pulled over and harassed because my skin is brown, i'll remember this. Thank you for reminding me that I don't have it as bad as the Chinese. Racial profiling is not so bad after all!
i'm a white male and i've never been harassed about anything, though, so my perspective is obviously different than yours. i'm not trying to trivialize your experiences, but i really disagree with the spirit of the boycott. i guess it's better than silence or complete apathy, but if somebody was serious about taking a stand i'd hope it would include more than a press release announcing that they're not going to come here (especially when they weren't going to come here anyway).

rage against the machine? more like inaction against the machine. am i right? am i right? probably not.. but yeah, definitely a whole lot of "we did something here" when you did nothing at all.

s
top touring in China (i don't think i need to explain this one)
-Bands on the boycott list that have toured in china: Sonic Youth, Ozomatli, Tenacious D, Kanye West, Joe Satriani...
A-fucking-men. Even when enacted SB1070 is not going to cause a fraction of the human rights abuses of China.

zach de la rocha -- punishing his fans for something they had nothing to do with.
solidarity, dude.
seriously, standing up for what you believe in is cool, but all these "boycotts" are probably not helping anything. i doubt arpaio or brewer are big sonic youth fans.
