Musicians to boycott Arizona


de la Rocha

The Clarion Content is vehemently opposed to the new Arizona law, allowing the state to demand papers at simply traffic stops. It is entirely to Soviet for our liking. As such we were glad to read in the BBC that a group of musicians called The Sound Strike led by Los Angeles rockers Rage Against The Machine and including Cypress Hill, Massive Attack and System Of A Down's Serj Tankian, are boycotting performing shows in Arizona until law SB 1070 is amended.

The BBC quoted Rage Against The Machine's lead singer Zacarías Manuel de la Rocha, "Some of us grew up dealing with racial profiling, but this law takes it to a whole new low."

Glad to hear the artists speaking out and using what financial clout that they have.
