Say it isn't so, Joe! I was very disappointed to read that Satch is supporting a liberal group called "The Sound Strike", calling for a boycott of Arizona due to their new immigration law. Joe has not been outspoken politically, in fact politics has never been part of his public persona. I've been a Satch fan since "Surfing With the Alien" came out in 87, have all the albums he's done other than Chickenfoot. This is simply a bad cause to join, Arizona is right to enact a law (nearly identical to federal law) with actual plans to enforce it. Illegal immigration is destroying Arizona, and making it far less safe -the whole country actually. The open borders crowd is frightening, and hate to see Satch lumped with such crazies. But he will be now that this list is made public. A real shame. I just hope he's read the actual Arizona law, many against it have not. The vast majority of Americans support this law, near 70%. Even in Arizona, the legal hispanic population is in strong support. I'm listening to Crystal Planet as I type this, I have no intention of boycotting joe's music. But I'm just really disappointed and hope he comes to his senses. Still a fan, always will be, but I'm flabbergasted by his inclusion with this group.
