You have made some terrific points!! I have thought too with the racial climate as it is now in Cincinnati ...and the economic losses because of the boycott. *They* just did want to say no to Bruce like they did Smashing Pumpkins and Pearl Jam.

(money being behind most anything) (or totally PR which might backfire?)
