I got the following email today:

Subject: Jesus and Judas
Nick,

I must be honest here.

I hope you and your friends REALLY enjoy the concerts. But I personally feel like you’re a Judas copping for 30 pieces of Silver.

You passed up a wonderful opportunity to draw attention to the inequities in Utah. Yeah, it would have caused a scene, but so did Rosa Parks in Montgomery, Alabama.

I know it takes courage, and it’s easy for someone to sit back from a distance and criticize, but did you really consider ALL of the possible advantages your actions could have brought in the way of visibility and in shining a bright light on discrimination in Utah?

Ouch.
