The unknown artist who gets this gig and then says "Free Palestine" at the first show will

  • get more gigs
  • be able to look themselves in the mirror afterward

    Or perfectly timed? Didn't he lose every other act on his tour?

    I love Guitar Center.

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

    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.

    I'm certain ticket sales have gone through the roof just so that people can pay for the opportunity to boo him live

    I bet the standards have relaxed now that they have no openers at all.
