This is pretty lame.

I would imagine anyone going to a Wilco show is already not a fan of the law. The people making decisions aren't going to go "OH shite WILCO CANCELLED! REPEAL THIS BITCH!"

I mean it is already a big national story. I highly doubt this raises any awareness by doing this. I get why they're doing it, but I think it hurts their fans more than it accomplishes any sort of goal.

I don't even get why they're doing it. A state passes a law already passed by 19 states, some of which are in worse form. There is nothing novel about the Indiana law, and RFRA laws have not led to any measurable change in businesses dealing with gay people.

Does Wilco understand that? Does anyone? 20 states have these laws, and there is simply no measurable impact on the gay community to date.

It's much ado about nothing, just a bunch of pseudo-intellectual entertainers and advocates filling their substance less lives with fabricated outrage.

Right. The only people hurt are the Wilco fans who wanted to go to the show.

In Syracuse a black minister got beaten by cops in his own yard, the middle east is a quagmire, people are getting laid off in the oil field, yet the biggest news of the week is that there's a slight chance a gay couple may not get their cupcakes from a baker.
