11. It's hard to boycott a performer whose shows you'd never attend anyhow.

You'd have to pay me a lot to get me to any of the performers on that list that I've even heard of, and I can't imagine how awful a concert by the Liberty Praise Choir is likely to be - Christian pop is probably the ickiest of all musical genres. I looked up the ones I haven't heard of, and another thing stands out about this list: Everybody except for one or two of the reconstituted Village People is white. White as milk, white as the driven snow, white as Trump's ass. DEI is certainly not being observed in this lineup, so it was bound to suck.
