Jeez, been away for a bit and I take it that the AZ law started a crap storm. Thats what is great about America, we can disagree one way or the other with the Government and not be jailed.
Joe, while I may or may not agree with you with you position I will fully go on record with agree with someone in your position bringing awareness to the issue. People at work as me why I argue certain points even though they know I don't believe that point of view. Its real simple, there needs to be conversation on going about the issue.
Can't wait for the next batch of Satch!

Joe!---What's up with supporting the boycott on AZ! I have heard only a few people complain about this law while the over whelming majority of people support it. Which means you are more likely to turn away people from your music than attract. Boycotts work both ways!
If the concern over the law is the unconstitutionallity, don't worry! The law was designed to mirror Federal law. So if there is a problem to be had, take it up with the Federal government, not the people of AZ.
Another thing I notice about people who complain about this law,is that they have never read it! DHS, the Chief of Staff, and others all deny reading the bill. It states specifically in the bill (1070) that it was designed to mirror federal law.
It sadens me that so many people are quick to judge this law and declare it unjust. In reality, something has to be done! We are the second kidnap capital, IN THE WORLD!!! Second only to Columbia. That's pretty pathetic. Not to mention the fact that the drug cartels have been making there way north into AZ for years. And now, thanks to the "War on Terror", we have another type of people wanting to enter our country. It has been reported that in Texas, only 50% of the illegals captured are from Mexico. The others are from countries that mean to do us harm. Will it take an act of terror and more lives gone before we all realize that something must be done!?
And lastly, we are, or shuold be, a Republic. Which means we are ruled by law. If someone breaks a law, we don't give them exemption from it. When somone enters this country illegally, they are breaking not just Federal law, but now state law. Hence the term, ILLEGAL. To turn away from enforcing the law is to open the gates to other laws being disregarded.
I understand this will not simply change your mind since you are already on a list of people/bands boycotting AZ, but I had to at least voice my mind on the subject. I know you are a truly kind and generous person and you mean the best for everyone. But we in AZ must do what is best, and lawful, to secure our way of life and enforce the rule of law.

Godsmack Join BP Fuel Boycott June 25, 2010
Due to the massive oil spill in the Gulf region Godsmack will join Korn in their boycott of BP fuel. Other large named rock bands who have joined the protest include Disturbed, Megadeth, Rob Zombie and all 12 bands comprising of the Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival lineup. Given the number of artists that won't be using BP fuel this summer, first estimates suggest that close to 100 tour buses and vehicles will be a part of the boycott.
Korn singer Jonathan Davis stressed that the message the bands are sending "should tell all the oil companies to spend the money and take the necessary precautions to make sure this doesn't happen again." Davis added that he was "really proud that this many artists have already come on board, and I hope more will join soon."

Glitzy - well done on the run mate, a shame the organisers didn't mark out the course better but sounds like you didn't lose too much time.
Cappy/Grampy - awww... you got a Will.i.am!! How many cuddles have you given him so far :0)?
Axe - great link to that interview! Thanks. Looks like it was done before the Hendrix shows but I never saw it. It answered some of my own questions (which means it gets 10/10 from me) such as why Joe switches guitars during shows. I had guessed that it was because he needed a particular guitar with a specific setup for a group of songs but he says that's no it - he just needs to keep the guitars in tune and he doesn't want to talk to the audience whilst he is re-tuning - LMAO!!!
Anybody every thought that maybe Joe is Wolf2????? Hmmmm?
I saw Animal Kingdom last night - great film, a definite 9/10 for me. And our local church was used to shoot one of the scenes which if you're from LA is nuthin but if you're from Melbourne it's kinda cool to see some local areas on film.
