Daryl Hall and John Oates made an important statement about the irresponsible allegedly "anti-immigration" law Arizona has championed.
Hall and Oates joined in the boycott of the state of Arizona in a wise and courageous gesture:
The rock duo Daryl Hall and John Oates announced Monday they will not be playing Phoenix next month following an Arizona Diamondbacks game.
Their manager Jonathan Wolfson told The Associated Press from Los Angeles that Hall and Oates will not play Phoenix July 2 because of their personal stance against Arizona’s new immigration law.
The pair issued a statement through Wolfson saying they stand in solidarity with the music community in boycotting Arizona at this time.
It's a much-needed statement by the group.

In addition to being a fan of Hall and Oates' music, I have also admired the political stances they've taken (their participation in the "Artists United Against Apartheid" project comes to mind). Hall and Oates' decision not to play in Phoenix is AZ's loss because Daryl and John put on an awesome live show (I've seen them 3 times).
