House of Blues Mission Statement should preclude them from booking Ted Nugent.

Our mission is to create:

A profitable, principled global entertainment company.
To celebrate the diversity and brotherhood of world culture.
To promote racial and spiritual harmony through love, peace, truth, righteousness and non-violence.

Their decision to invite Ted Nugent into their venues violates most of the core principles in their own mission statement.
They've heard from me and maybe they'll hear from you as well.

WTF is the point of a grand mission statement if it's not incorporated into the corporate culture and day-to-day business practices.

I was disturbed to read today that the House of Blues has invited Ted Nugent to play. Doing so is a slap in the face of those who *agree* with the House of Blues’ mission statement - To promote racial and spiritual harmony through love, peace, truth, righteousness and non-violence.

Please rescind this invitation. Providing Ted Nugent with a venue provides him with a soapbox, and I hate to think that the House of Blues would tolerate the violent racist opinions of such a man.

Thank you.

Not long and rambling, respectful, and straight to the point. I suspect that at least part of it may get 'borrowed'.

There were more protesters than attendees in the theater. And most of Nugent's fans appear to have family trees without branches.

The whole enterprise has a co-opted exploitative underpinning I've never been really fond of anyway.
