The list of artists joing Bruce Springsteen (story) in deciding not to play in North Carolina in protest of a state law prohibiting transgenders from using the restroom designated to the sex they identify themselves as belonging to is growing.  Ringo Starr, Pearl Jam and Boston have pulled out of dates in the state.  Jimmy Buffett opted to do his concert there but is making a point of voicing his objections to what he calls the 'stupid' law.  Pearl Jam offered a longer explanation for fans, calling the HB2 law "... a despicable piece of legislation that encourages discrimination against an entire group of American citizens." The web post continued with, "The practical implications are expansive and its negative impact upon basic human rights is profound.  We want America to be a place where no one can be turned away from a business because of who they love or fired from their job for who they are."
