Forty-one days after legendary Motown singer-songwriter Stevie Wonder vowed to boycott Florida, Miami Beachs sultry sultry summer evenings called out to him and he couldnt resist.
Jose Lambeits Gossip Extra broke the story Tuesday that the legendary recording artist spent the weekend in South Floridas legendary South Beach before jetting off to Los Angeles.
During a Canadian performance on July 14, Wonder told the audience he would boycott Florida, saying, for those of you whove lost in the battle for justice.. we cant bring them back. What we can do is we can let our voices be heard.
He made the announcement in the wake of the George Zimmerman acquittal in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin. The boycott was meant to be a protest against Floridas stand your ground law, although that law was never at issue during the trial.
However, Wonder went on to tell the audience that he would never perform in Florida to be fair, he didnt say anything about just visiting.
I decided today that until the stand your ground law is abolished in Florida, I will never perform there again, Wonder said.
Theres no evidence that he performed during his Florida weekend, so technically, I suppose he off the hook.
But I keep coming back to one thing there are 31 states that have some form of stand your ground law. Does Wonder plan on boycotting all 31, or was that just an excuse because he didnt like the verdict?
Whatever the answer, I have to say that his convictions are somewhat tidal they come in, then go out, just like the tide. Forty-one days.
Have you ever seen his wife? Neither has he.
Proving once again that it’s not really about race with the whining, posturing blacks of today.
It’s about the money.
Racial whining and posturing is just another imaginary commodity, like carbon offsets.
Something to be sold, traded away, or tossed aside for money.
I am old man, not only can I not read that print, I can barely even tell it’s actually there!
Can’t blame a guy for missing sarcasm when it is being purposely hidden! >_>
Best regards.
Maybe somebody told him he was going to Cuba, and took him to Florida instead.
Thank you :S

Nobody saw THAT coming, least of all Stevie.
Wonder how he saw his way clear to do that
He couldn’t see why an informal visit would be a bad idea.
ROFL!
Now, THAT’S FUNNY!
