[lastfm]Korn[/lastfm] and [lastfm]The Backstreet Boys[/lastfm] in the last few days have also stated that they will not be fueling with BP. Early estimates according to CNN indicate about 100 buses, vehicles and trucks belonging to committed musicians are involved in the boycott. Today marks day 71 of the spill that has let tens of millions of gallons of oil gushing  into the Gulf Coast since an explosion of an oil rig off the coast of Louisiana.
