Sound Stike boycott is only a way for de la rocha to get publicity again, and many artists people don't know to get a few lines on some website no one cares about. If these "artists" really wanted to make a difference they would have come to the state to protest the laws, and used they status to draw large crowds to their concerts and could have convinved some people to change their opinion on the matter. But instead they hide in los angeles, act like they are actually doing somehting to the state, but in the end they lost fans in the state, hurt venues and the people employed there. Russel pearse didnt feel any pinch from their "Sound Stike" but I bet a lot of low-wage workers, some of them hispanic, lost their jobs because of it.
