Hey, hi, howdy. Sure happy it's Thursday, am I right?
Don't forget to join us for Saturday Night Karaoke, live and loud at the Iron Horse Tavern, coming up this weekend.
Ringo Starr has joined Bruce Springsteen in cancelling his North Carolina in protest against what he calls a discriminatory new law in the state.
Starr was scheduled to perform in Cary, North Carolina on June 18.
"I’m sorry to disappoint my fans in the area, but we need to take a stand against this hatred. Spread peace and love," Starr said in a statement. "How sad that they feel this group of people cannot be defended."
Cyndi Lauper, meanwhile, told ABC News that her upcoming concert in Raleigh will go on as a sort of rally to "build public support to repeal HB2."
"I will be donating all of the profits from the show to Equality North Carolina's efforts to repeal HB2 and I am proud of my manager and agent for joining me in this effort by donating their commissions from the show to this vital effort," she said.
"I look forward to coming to North Carolina and standing up for equality and fairness. If we truly want an inclusive society, we all have to include ourselves in the effort to make that happen. This is the best way I know how to include myself and urge you to join me in the best way you know how."
