Bruce Springsteen will no longer be performing in North Carolina this weekend.
In response to the state's passage of the controversial House Bill 2 -- often referred to as the "bathroom law" -- the "Born in the U.S.A." rocker announced in a statement to fans that he is canceling his concert on Sunday in Greensboro in support of the LGBT community.
Saying that the law "dictates which bathrooms transgender people are permitted to use," the statement noted,"The law also attacks the rights of LGBT citizens to sue when their human rights are violated in the workplace. No other group of North Carolinians faces such a burden."

"To my mind, it’s an attempt by people who cannot stand the progress our country has made in recognizing the human rights of all of our citizens to overturn that progress," the 66-year-old musician continued. "Right now, there are many groups, businesses, and individuals in North Carolina working to oppose and overcome these negative developments."
"Taking all of this into account, I feel that this is a time for me and the band to show solidarity for those freedom fighters," he added. "As a result, and with deepest apologies to our dedicated fans in Greensboro, we have canceled our show scheduled for Sunday, April 10th."

I’ll bet Bruce has his own, private backstage bathroom.
This whole argument is like a tempest in a teapot. Fags love to hang out in Men’s rooms as I am sure dykes like to do so in women’s bathrooms. If some transgender freakshow doesn’t like the law, they can all take a piss and a dump on Bruce’s estate. I am sure he is up for that.
One less retired, yankee leftist to look after. Gee, how will the state survive?
Hmm...I’ll give Austin the benefit of the doubt over Asheville. It at least has the responsibility of being the capital of Texas.
What creeped me out about Asheville were the beyond funky Third World restaurants, head shops, and “art” galleries. Like Haight-Ashbury of 1967 was teleported to N.C.
Oh, my, how really, really bad for them. How will they survive? How many suicides will result? /s
If it’s this easy to get rid of NJ faggots maybe Pennsylvania should pass a similar law :)
If you’ve never been to Austin, trust me... it’s probably every bit as freaky as Ashville. It has a very extreme contingent of Satanists and witches as well.
Fighting for the right of adult males to be naked in front of females.
I seriously wonder whether some of these virtue-signalling lefties even understand the law they are protesting. The law doesn’t bar single-person, any-gender bathrooms. It just says, AFAIK, that people must use the bathroom of their biological sex.
Neither of which have anything in common with Asheville other than proximity.
I thought real hippies like either the seashore or the desert. Burning Man & all that. But mountains?
;^)
No biggie. His Glory Days haved passed him by.
Just a washed up hack casing in on his name and past, not ability.
Why in blazes would anyone want to pay to see him anyway? I hope those with common sense will see this and make North Carolina they’re summer vacation destination.
FYI - His last concert in Greensboro, seems there were radio ads selling his tickets right up to concert day. Just wondering if again his ticket sales not impressive #s . . . so why not cancel and blame it on something else.
The Biltmore Estate has a lot to do with Asheville being what it is. People visiting the Vanderbilts at Biltmore found that they love the area, which led to rail connections, hotels and the sort of artistic and cultural attractions expected by people of wealth during the summer season. It’s been drawing artists, writers and musicians since then. Another draw is the surviving Art Nouveau and Art deco architecture, largely preserved due to Asheville going bust during the Great Depression and only emerging from it in the 80’s. Their downtown is sort of a time capsule because of this, whereas other cities grew, razed old structures before their style was valued and changed. Asheville didn’t.
If radio stations want to continue playing him or not, that's their business.
Phew! North Carolina dodged a smelly, leftard bullet!
Seriously, if someone is fully dressed as the opposite sex, fine, use that bathroom then. I don’t really care if a gender disordered, kind person uses my bathroom.
The law needs to keep male men out of the woman’s bathroom. Period. Women don’t want to go into the men’s room. Most rapists are men. Keep the women’s room free of potential rapists, please.
Is that so hard for Bruce to understand? What an idiot.
Have always thought he sucked; always will.
