Him and the band walked out in “Free Palestine” shirts. Some of them also said “An Appeal to Heaven,” which is a nice touch if you’re trying to cover every base except the one your audience actually bought a ticket for. A few people cheered and took a shot at Robert Kraft, the guy who owns the building and already bounced Macklemore for this same routine. Everybody else who sat in traffic just to hear the songs stood there thinking, what the hell is this bullshit?
Country radio didn’t get big because the parking lot was full of people looking for a lecture on Gaza. Most of that crowd doesn’t support Palestine, doesn’t want the shirt, and didn’t ask the guy with the guitar to settle the Middle East between encores. But the shirt went on anyway. That’s the modern move. You get famous off one audience, then you borrow somebody else’s politics and act surprised when half the room stops clapping.
Kraft’s place. Sold out. Shirts on. Message delivered. Whether anybody in the beer line wanted it is apparently none of his business.
