Gov. Abbott tells bands protesting SXSW over military sponsorship 'don't come back'
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott appears to need a crash course in Southern hospitality after telling bands boycotting Austin's SXSW conference to go home and "don't come back." Abbott's comments came after more than 80 musical acts and panelists backed out of the massive music and multimedia event after learning that the U.S. Army and defense contractors Raytheon, Collins Aerospace and BAE Systems are sponsors. Department of Defense agencies, including the CIA and NSA, are also taking part in the festival.
