Dave Matthews Band Pledges Proceeds from NC Concert to Fight Trans Bathroom Bill
Breitbart ^ | 5/24/16 | Daniel Nussbaum

Posted on 05/24/2016 10:38:19 AM PDT by Impala64ssa

Dave Matthews Band will donate the proceeds from their upcoming concert in Charlotte to five organizations fighting North Carolina’s recently enacted transgender bathroom law.

Unlike other artists who have cancelled concerts in the state in opposition to the law, Dave Matthews Band will go ahead with its scheduled May 27 show at the PNC Music Pavilion in Charlotte.

In a brief statement on their website, the band announced that a portion of proceeds from the performance would go to five organizations working to fight the law: the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), Lambda Legal, ACLU of North Carolina, Equality NC and Time Out Youth.

The band selected the beneficiary organizations with the assistance of NC Needs You, an organization that encourages artists and musicians to honor previously scheduled engagements in North Carolina.

This is the same bunch of overrated has-beens who got in trouble for dumping the waste tank on their tour bus all over a group of people on a sightseeing boat in Chicago. So it's quite appropriate for these scatologial experts to jump on this bandwagon.

I’d boycott them for this, but I’ve always been boycotting them for making crappy music.

I never got why they are famous anyway.

What genuine hits did Dave Matthews ever have?

It’s like “the Ramones” and “the Smiths” - they’re low-level junk that never made it except with a few fringe elements. Difference is at least I heard of DM when he was “hot” but it took me 20 years and the Internet to ever hear of the ‘80s bands.

a portion of proceeds

I won't go to Breitbart because the site crashes my computer. Is there any detail of the "portion" and how they're calculating "proceeds"?

Sounds like you need to tweak your browser a bit. AdBlockPlus works wonders most of the time for such matters.

Does Dave Matthews understand that he is supporting men going into the girls bathroom? He is actively promoting grown men sharing a restroom my our daughters.

That is not normal. That is SICK.

And Dave Matthews is giving money toward promoting this sickness.

To me, the Dave Matthews Band is extremely bland, however, I gotta hand it to them, because of their fan base. Dave Matthews has some of the most loyal fans I’ve ever met, almost, almost on par with Neil Diamond fans. It’s like a (benign) cult in some ways.

All that aside, I’m glad some musicians are brave enough to speak up and think out of the PC box. I’m guessing most of his band members are family men by now.

I don’t care who he is. Does he want grown men watching little girls on toilets ( watching them) ? Do they actually want 18 year old young men in the female high school shower who simply say “ I feel like a woman today until I leave the shower and then I’m a male again”,while his buddies sit in there with folding chairs? This will not prevail. Why are the churches doing nothing? Afraid to take a stand again?

So they couldn’t find one trick stop or other service area in Chicago to properly dispose of the black water from the bus? Idiots.

I take it that dave doesn’t have any spawn. No man would allow perverts into the same restrooms, changing rooms, or shower facilities with their children.

I just re-read the article. I made an error. He DOES support that men in the women’s room bill. My first statements about his music being boring still stand, though.
I get the feeling that for some of the Rock Dinosaur Acts, this ‘boycotting’ is the only way they can get attention these days.

This is so they don’t lose concert money. They may donate 10% and keep 90%.

Of all the causes these freaks (Springsteen, Matthews, et.al.) could get behind they decide this is hill they want to die on. “Illiteracy ain’t cool anymore! Refugees? Maybe later. Hunger, man that’s old school! Sh!++ing in the girls bathroom’s, that’s where it’s at! I’m there!” FU Dave Matthews, you f’ng pervert loving douche.

Don’t let that bozo or his band mates anywhere near the port-a-potties.
