By mid-September, we received available dates at these arenas through the end of the year. But once they found out these were my benefit shows for Palestine, those dates were suddenly off the table.

The doors were closed. The conversations were all different, but the result was the same. The shows were not going to be allowed to happen in these venues.

      He’s always been advocate for progressive rights since day one. It’s also why he’s always been an independent artist, so those in power don’t have control on what he says and does.

        His message is great but I also don’t think he is an arena-level act.

      Yeh, its ironic when artists get popular for getting involved in political movements that politicians refuse to get involved in. If ever there was need for more evidence that they do not represent their constituents, this is another piece.
