    Ed sure fucked himself… I’d blame his PR rep, but this was such a predictable fuckup that the better explanation is that Ed has really shitty values.

    I love Guitar Center.

    I get to try out many different guitars before purchasing one at a local mom and pop shop.

    Bad timing? Were they living under a rock? It is not hard to stop the beginning of a campaign.

    This is deliberate of course. Lots of people out there who want to make it big with their music and there will be musicians in there that are actually really good but never really got a chance. Either they’re not gonna care about the political statement over this huge chance or they are interested in making a different statement in the first place.

    You gotta wonder if those concert halls are going to be full though. And I also wonder what it’ll do to the musical quality of the tour.

      I mean the right way to play this is blindingly obvious. Go up there, do your set, and then yell Free Palestine afterwards.

        Would be a no-brainer but I think you’ll have to sign something stating you won’t

          Yeah but following your contract isn’t very rock in roll, now, is it?
