And he sucks.
A boycott isn’t a bad thing in this case.
Is he singing that same crap from 1981? Just go on tour with Linda Rondstat, Elvis. You idiots are made for each other.
I always knew he was a jerk. This is incontrovertible evidence of that fact.
I thought it was Elvis Presley who was full of crap.
Another D lister speaks, desperate for some attention.
Is he boycotting Saudi Arabia too?
No Elvis. No Peace!
Wasn’t he partnered up with some guy named Abbot?
a jerk doing something right
I think that was peanut butter & bananas.
An impersonator - he has lots in common with BHO. Can’t make it being who they really are.
Long Live Israel - Go Bibi!
His early stuff was pretty good, but he really went downhill when he “expanded” into other venues. I wouldn’t pay to see him nowadays anyway.
Boycott Arizona too
Mr. Diana Krall may be a jerk but he has written some great songs.
Elvis Costello - the douche who has his records pushed by Columbia house bargain bins. Please.
Well it would have been tough to make that June 31 show anyway.
Both his fans are crushed.
What is wrong with these people? They make me want to pull my hair out! How can they look on a map and decide that itty bitty Israel is the one doing the persecuting? They make me sick. If I was a fan of his, I sure wouldn’t be any longer. I hope his career collapses.
