Wow @springsteen making a stand. I get it but as someone who has paid like $1000 in plane tickets this tour, can't say I agree

Bruce Springsteen cancels concert in NC over #HB2. Wife told me after she was going to surprise me with tickets. https://t.co/ht4ziES585

So @Springsteen canceled the NC concert I was gonna go to cuz of HB2 laws. I respect him so much but I just missed my 1st chance to see him?
