Protests
As with the band's preceding 1997 world tour, Dead to the World, the Mechanical Animals Tour met with numerous protests from civic and religious leaders. On October 19, 1998, a month before a planned performance at the Landmark Theatre in Syracuse, New York, local activists began calling for a cancellation of the engagement. According to Associated Press, then-Syracuse Mayor Roy Bernardi attempted to block the venue's permit, citing a "moral obligation to the people of Syracuse", but did not specify any specific reason for his objections. Onondaga County officials also threatened to withhold $30,000 in county funds earmarked for the Landmark should the concert continue as planned, prompting the venue's bookers to consider dropping the show. Despite this, representatives for the Landmark started selling tickets on the day it was planned and the performance took place on the arranged venue and date. [2]
