- "James Taylor boycotts Colorado, will skip Telluride bluegrass fest"
-
- by Michael Mehle
-
-
- James Taylor has joined the boycott of Colorado, meaning last year's
- headline performer at the Telluride Bluegrass Festival won't return this
- summer, his agent said.
-
- Taylor will not perform in Colorado until Amendment 2 is repealed,
- said agent Peter Stiglin. Stiglin predicted other scheduled acts
- would follow suit.
-
- The announcement came three days after a Denver judge granted a
- preliminary injunction halting the amendment from becoming law until
- a trial can be held.
-
- Taylor joins stars Liza Minnelli, Barbra Streisand, Joan Rivers and
- Whoopi Goldberg in the boycott.
-
- In a tongue-in-cheek approach to fund-raising, Boycott Colorado Inc.
- is selling tickets to the Boycott Ball June 27.
-
- The ball, however, is a non-event. Announcements read: "This event
- will _not_ be held in the beautiful Radisson ballroom or any other
- ballroom in Colorado." A $15 contribution, however, will buy a ticket
- suitable for framing.
