McCabe’s Guitar Shop in Santa Monica, CA, is getting pummelled by fans on their FaceBook page about this Saturday’s show. No cancellation announcement yet that I’ve found.

Update 3:30 PM Sydney (9:30 PM U.S. PDT): Cancelled!

Latest Update: Late response from Germany (8 PM Sydney): I just got a response to an email to the Burg Herzberg Festival in Germany, where MS’s website says she’s performing on July 19. From Gunther:

Thanks for the e-mail!

Due to the fact of nine hours difference we expect some words from Michelle, because this has come to a complete surprise to us. Anyway, if it is like it seems right now, we will cancel the show within the next 24 hours.

MAKE LOVE WORK,

Gunther

All scheduled shows (per Shocked’s website) except TWO scheduled through the month of June are NOW CANCELLED. (Most of the shows scheduled after June are listed as “tentative.”) {…}

I’m guessing that’s a “No.” div>

So far, the only response from Shocked is this tweet:

This isn’t a “painful confrontation” any more than it’s “truth”, Ms. Shocked. This is a complete repudiation of your horrid opinion about our friends and neighbors and loved ones who want to marry the person they love.

Shocked apparently became a born-again “Christian” recently, joining the Pentecostal West Angeles Church of God in Christ in Los Angeles. As someone who fell in love with her music after her “Short, Sharp, Shocked” album, I am deeply saddened by this. I have actually met her twice and spoken with her at length. I’ve been listening to her music for decades.

I won’t be buying her art any more.
