The Conservative blogosphere was spreading the rumor that the Rolling Stones were going to boycott Florida over the Zimmerman acquital. Heysoos and Speranza called BS on this pointing out that the Stones are Conservatives/Tories. It turns out it was a flase rumor.
Mother Jones reached out to representatives for some of the artists, who reported that they were unaware of the reported boycott movement.
A source with knowledge of the situation told the magazine that Rihanna was not joining the reported boycott, and a spokesperson for the Rolling Stones said “nobody’s heard anything about this.”
People need to vet stories better.
