As NewsBusters previously reported, Stevie Wonder on Monday told a Quebec City concert audience that he was boycotting Florida and other states with "Stand Your Ground" laws as a result of the George Zimmerman verdict.

Apparently not to be outdone, Bruce Springsteen on Tuesday dedicated a song to Trayvon Martin during a concert in Limerick, Ireland.

According to the Newark Star-Ledger, Springsteen saw a sign in the audience for the song "American Skin."

For those unfamiliar, "American Skin (41 Shots)" was about the 1999 police shooting death of Amadou Diallo in the Bronx. The incident set off a firestorm at the time given the number of bullets fired by the four policemen who were later acquitted of all charges.

On Tuesday, after seeing the sign in the audience, Springsteen grabbed it and said to the crowd, "I want to send this one out as a letter back home. For justice for Trayvon Martin."

Although first performed live in June 2000, Springsteen began featuring the song again during his 2012 tour often dedicating it to Martin.
