    Perhaps the intent is to cancel all 4 shows a day or 2 prior to really stick it to Greg Abbott and Ted Cruz.
    This weekend we rock Portland

    Why do you care about the laws of a state you don't live in? 

    For at least a couple of reasons.  First of all, there are people I (and others here) know and care about in states that have laws that repress minorities, deny women their rights to their bodies, suppress votes and or/ intimidate voters who don't agree with repressive laws (yes, that happens).  Secondly, there is something inherently wrong about gerrymandering in states like Texas that create false representation to places like Austin (see myoung321 post with graphic one previous page). 
    And surely by now you realized these moves by the far right are an attempt to install autocratic rule controlled though authoritarian means in this country, right? No thanks and, yes, I care about all that.

    And look, your question is weak.  That's like asking, "Why do you care about your neighbors abusing their pets if you don't live there and they're not your pets?"  Just turn a blind eye, right?
    Its none of your business how Texans choose to govern their own state. You don't live there. They don't need to align with your values because you are not a constituent. Those in Texas that disagree with current policies can either vote for change or move to another state. Quit trying to shoe horn your politics into every situation. Turn off your TV and go touch some grass. Let Texas enjoy some PJ concerts. 

    Authoritarian much?

    Like the liberal cities in Texas should have zero say about the laws in their state, and we shouldn’t support them. Nice country pal. And congrats to PJ playing in this 1800s era state that treats women and people of color like slaves

    Sorry, Shorty, but I don't jump when people say "jump" or tell me what to do, how to think, how to act.  Besides, I have no shoe horn, I don't watch TV or smoke grass any more, and I have every goddamn right in the world to voice my opinions here.  If you don't like that, please feel free to ignore me.

    The Federal Bureau of Investigation is looking into a Friday incident in which a group of Trump supporters, driving trucks and waving Trump flags, surrounded and followed a Biden campaign bus as it drove up I-35 in Hays County, a law enforcement official confirmed to The Texas Tribune Saturday.

    The confrontation, captured on video, featured at least one minor collision and led to Texas Democrats canceling three scheduled campaign events on Friday. The campaign officials cited “safety concerns” for the cancellations.

    On Saturday night, Trump tweeted a video of the Trump supporters following the Biden bus saying, “I LOVE TEXAS!”

    When reached for comment, the Texas GOP Chairman Allen West dismissed questions regarding the incident. “It is more fake news and propaganda. Prepare to lose ... stop bothering me,” West said in a statement.

    Many PJ fans travel, I've been lucky enough to see the boys a buncha times, my first show (in 2010) being the only one I've seen in my "home" state.   The last show I was at, Amsterdam 2 in 2018, I'm a row back from the rail and I turn around and there's another fan with a Boston Red Sox hat on.

    TRAVEL costs money. Food, hotels, rental cars, parking.  None of my $$ are going into the Texas economy. 
    I am really surprised that this conscious band made such a decision.  If someone can enlighten me, that would be awesome.

    Stop saying "just let the Texas fans have their show." Start letting the women of Texas have their RIGHTS.

    Exactly!!!!!! I've been to shows in many states and a few different countries. Saying "our shows" is a bit short sighted, especially for a Ten Club member..

    To not care about other people in the same country is an odd take, and if someone does, making that into an insult is more odd.

    I said why do you care about the laws of a state you don't live in? I didn't say anything about not caring for people. Don't get it twisted. The people in that state have the right to create the laws they wish to be governed by. If Texans have a grievance, they can vote for change, challenge it legally or move to another state. To say people in Texas shouldn't be able to enjoy a PJ concert because of their laws is utter nonsense.

    send a strongly worded lettet to the band and its management.  they are the only ones who know why 4 of 9 announced shows are there.  asking that question here is useless imo.

    Not everyone has the ability to just up and move. And since the laws effect people, caring about the laws is caring about the people, so that’s the answer to your why question. To say go touch grass suggests someone is over-reacting.
