Local Mall Pulls Plug On Band With Anti-Bush T-Shirts (Cleveland)

CLEVELAND -- Managers at a downtown mall stopped a performance by a band whose members wore T-shirts critical of President Bush.

Mifun, an Afro-beat band, had been playing for about 20 minutes Friday as part of a jazz festival when the sound system was cut off at Tower City Center.

"They didn't like that all the band members wore a T-shirt with a picture of George Bush with a line through it," said band leader Jacob Fader, 28, of Cleveland Heights. "They said we either remove the shirts, turn them inside out, or get off the stage. I said that doing so would be against our core principles and free speech. We told the audience what happened from the stage after the microphones were cut. The crowd booed."

Tower City general manager Lisa Kreiger said the band's attire was distracting and inappropriate.

4. Really! Maybe they need to have "Ein Reich, Ein Fuhrer" t-shirts on hand,

to change into should anyone object. Wonder if those would pass the free-speech test? I mean, it wouldn't be a message about Chimpy, would it?
