Two days before the resurrected Lilith tour is scheduled to begin in Calgary, Alberta, a report in The Globe and Mail newspaper of Toronto said the concert series has been canceling dates because of poor ticket sales.

The Lilith tour, which spotlights female artists and whose founders include Sarah McLachlan, is preparing for its first season since 1999, with a lineup that includes Mary J. Blige, Sheryl Crow and Erykah Badu.

But a manager for Norah Jones told The Globe and Mail that the dates Ms. Jones was scheduled to perform on, from Aug. 10 through Aug. 16, in cities including West Palm Beach and Tampa, Fla.; Birmingham, Ala.; Houston; and Dallas had been dropped.

...The Lilith tour had previously announced the cancellations of tour stops in Phoenix and Nashville.

...A press representative for the 2010 Lilith tour wrote in an e-mail message that there was “nothing to confirm right now.”

They should play UP cancelling the Phoenix show. Tell the press that you are “boycotting” Arizona. “Uh, I MEANT to do that...”

Isn't this just some feel-good lesbi-liberal thing, anyway?

I can think of better things to spend my $$ on than listening to a bunch of wailing lesbians.

OMG, women are not supporting women? The lesbians aren’t supporting lesbian artists? Feminists aren’t supporting feminists? Shocking. Shocking, I say. Where is the sisterhood? I mean they won’t just all get together for the sake of bitching about men?

Personally I think it’s because none of the women ‘entertainers’ have any cowbell.

Named after Lilith, the female demon who consumed children. It would seem that “she” is the unofficial demonic patroness of abortion. Someone did an analysis of the links between the symbolism and the practice of abortion a few years ago. It was pretty spooky.
