I moved this outta the Tour Announcement thread..."Ok. Whatever, man. This is a thread for the tour. I’m seeing 4 shows I can drive to so I’m happy and done discussing politics. Have a good day."
Simple question...what's the thinking behind the FOUR dates in Greg Abbott's TEXAS on this minitour (AKA Florida's cousin)?
I'm old enough to remember when social issues mattered to the band more than social media.
PJ should never reward fascists.

To answer your question maybe the guys think they can make a difference by using their soapbox while they are here? In all likelihood they will be preaching to the choir especially at their shows. Maybe they will take a huge cut from the high ticket prices and donate it to Texas non profits that spend their time informing voters and fighting against the current christofascist agenda of the republicans? Maybe they are just doing it for the money? Maybe they think providing their music to their fans in a state like Texas will help people feel better about their inner selves and give them more energy to keep fighting?

F U Texas fundamentalists!!

Republicans have craved up the state to take away from Liberal areas by gerrymandering the districts .Just look at how Austin is broken up to change the demographics and to keep power with conservatives... Is this a fair and free election when districts are deliberately manipulated?
