Frankly, the response is almost funnier than the poster, despite the fact that "Chuck Norris Day and the Time" is kind of brilliant.

A summation of the music industry’s mindset toward the controversial new law is this “Funny or Die” poster going around social media, which shows a fictional “North Carolina Music Festival 2016” with most of the acts crossed off -- presumably in protest. And it’s amusing, sure.

But at least seven of the crossed-out acts are actually scheduled to play the Triangle in the coming months:

Chris Stapleton (May 20 at Cary’s Booth Amphitheatre)

Willie Nelson (May 22, Booth Amphitheatre)

Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats (June 9 at Raleigh’s Red Hat Amphitheater)

Ellie Goulding (June 10, Red Hat)

Toby Keith (July 10 at Raleigh’s Walnut Creek Amphitheatre)

Rob Thomas (July 28, Walnut Creek)

Dixie Chicks (Aug. 12, Walnut Creek).
