Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band canceled their North Carolina concert because of the state's new law blocking anti-discrimination rules for the LGBT community, said guitarist Steven Van Zandt, calling it the kind of legislation that's like an "evil virus" spreading around the U.S.
Van Zandt told The Associated Press they decided not to perform Sunday in Greensboro because of the law, which requires transgender people to use bathrooms based on their biological sex and bans state lawsuits for any type of workplace discrimination.

Not worth seeing anyway now that Clarence is gone.
We’ve lost our minds...
Brucie’s band members found out they couldn’t go pee with little girls, so they refused to come to N Carolina...
Hooray!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So that must mean that Brucey is not going to Cuba? After all, the Castros (if my memory serves me properly) do not have a great track record concerning gays either (strange that the Rolling Stones don’t seem to object to being in Cuba)?
Why don’t they do like Iggy Pops? He just pees from the stage.
Or maybe because ticket sales were anemic and the band would lose money on the concert, and rather than just cancel on that basis (and probably get sued) they come up with this reason that makes them out to be PC heroes.
Wow. Alternate headline: “Entertainer forgoes huge payday to force others to go against beliefs.”
Bruce is just angry because he can’t use the women’s bathrooms.
Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band canceled their North Carolina concert because of the state’s new law SUPPORTING THE TENANTS OF THE QURAN AND ISLAM regarding Homosexuals.
Keeping adult males out of little girls shower rooms and bathrooms is an ‘evil virus’.
Effing pedophiles.
Sadly, you are correct. Just cruising through the ‘news’ every day is kinda disheartening.
America as gone full retard when we’re fighting over the “right” for males to use the ladies room.
Plainly shows who is the real bigot in this.
I wonder how Bruce would like it if he was ordered to play at some right wing venue that contacted his agent.
Of course that wouldn’t happen, but it’s analogous to forcing a Baker to perform his art where he doesn’t want to.
Am I right that all the law says is that you go to the bathroom of you genitalia ?
Wow. Alternate headline: Entertainer forgoes huge payday to force others to go against beliefs.
or
BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN TRASHES QURAN AND ISLAM FOR NOT ALLOWING HOMOSEXUALITY, VOWS TO NEVER PLAY WHERE ISLAM AND MUSLIMS ARE PRESENT. MUSLIMS AND THEIR BELIEFS HAVE NO PLACE IN THE USA.
Oh look, a member of the 1% thinks he has the right to tell people how to live.
