Abraham argues bands play Arizona now more than ever -- something our columnist Stephen Lemons, who has always been the first and best reporter on this law, might disagree with.
A taste of Abraham's essay is below. Read the full text here. Also do yourself a favor and read Lemons' column about the boycott, which points out how effective the MLK Day-related boycotts of the '90s were.
The fact is, this was a ugly divisive issue across the state and that there are a huge number of people in Arizona that were bitterly opposed to the legislation and are now disgusted that it has been made law.I think instead of boycotting Arizona, bands should make a point of going there now more then ever. They should use whatever profile they have to address the issues around this law by talking about it in the local press.
