But just because this concert was in proximity doesn't seem like a good reason to do this. I'd be willing to bet there were boos in the crowd because they just thought the move was dickish.
I wonder what the nature of the event was. Sounds like RIAA, a lobbying group, sponsored it and it was invite only with the money going to Musicians on Call. One person was quoted as saying they got their credentials for it, so I am not sure if the lobbying group paid for the whole thing or invitees paid their entrance. If it is the latter, I feel their frustration, but if I am supporting the RNC, I had to be aware of what a group that has previously stated that they'd "occupy" the convention might do.
