Kanye West Wants Other Musicians to Boycott Arizona

Kanye West has also joined other musicians in urging artists to boycott Arizona after the new Immigration Law SB 1070 was passed last month. He uses a comparison with the story of Rosa Parks and says that everyone has to fight back.

"When Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat, they arrested her. As a result, people got together and said, 'We are not going to ride the bus until they change the law.' It was this courageous action that sparked the Montgomery bus boycott.

"What if we got together, signed a collective letter saying, 'We're not going to ride the bus', saying 'We are not going to comply. We are not going to play in Arizona. We are going to boycott Arizona?!'"

Zack De La Rocha, the frontman of Rage Against the Machine started the campaign and now West has gotten on board along with Cypress Hill, Jack Black, Massive Attack, Juanes, and Michael Moore.
