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).
