Lady Gaga Protests SB 1070 At Phoenix Show

By Simone Hilliard

While most artists are canceling their Arizona concerts in protest of the state's SB 1070 immigration law, the always original Lady Gaga (who would never disappoint her little monsters) decided to go against the grain and protest in concert at her Phoenix appearance this past weekend.

Gaga told thousands of concert goers:

"I got a phone call from a couple really big rock 'n' rollers, big pop stars, big rappers, and they said, 'We'd like you to boycott Arizona...because of SB 1070. And I said, 'You really think that us dumb fucking pop stars are going to collapse the economy of Arizona?'"

She continued:

"I'll tell you what we have to do about SB 1070. We have to be active. We have to actively protest, and the nature of the Monster Ball is to actively protest prejudice and injustice, and the bullshit that is put on our society." 

"I will not cancel my show. I will yell, and I will scream louder, and I will hold you, and we will hold each other, and we will peaceably protest this state. Do not be afraid, because if it wasn't for all of you immigrants, this country wouldn't have shit."
