Back in the nineties, we decided Kevin Costner should play Robin Hood with an American accent.. It resulted in a mediocre soundtrack and a badass breakfast cereal. Mr Adams produced one of the two, I forget which.

The fact that he is playing venues in Mississippi not named Snowden Grove should tell you how his career is going.

I'm going to cut your heart out with a spoon.

Pretty good line from that movie.

I cringe at the fact that we are still operating in a world that believes Heaven & Hell are real places.

Come on now. Don't turn a Bryan Adams thread into a religious thread. I plead with you. Straight from the Heart.

That's free will. Do as you please.

You have faith that the lights just go out at death. My faith is different. Do no harm to others with either of our faith and all is good, right?

While not surprising to see this, it is interesting that he is punishing one of the few cities in MS that have officially come out as being against the law.

However, my thought on the law is that it will play into free market capitalism perfectly. I see businesses and even whole communities forming alliances letting people know that they are open to everyone. People that are against the laws, as well as those effected by them, will likely choose to frequent these aligned businesses. Thus, the businesses with restrictive services will likely begin to lose money, and may inevitably be forced to choose between beliefs or staying open. Also, in communities where there is large opposition to "alternative" lifestyles, the free market will prevail as there are people willing to travel into the community to provide services to these people.

Perhaps they are just confused Ryan Adams fans.

I saw on the news where they interviewed a Christian, Republican bakery store owner shortly after the law passed.
They asked him if he would make and sell a wedding cake to a gay couple.

"Of course. I am a baker and they are my customers. They may not invite me to the wedding, but it's not my place to judge their actions."

Well done.
