I played his Christmas albums just this weekend.

Andy was the sound of Christmas.  Santa is crying in his eggnog right now.

Sorry, Val, but you invalidated your own argument.  You said "anytime a professional musician is required, they deserve compensation."   That is certainly a true statement, but the very fact that Palmer is able to pull off a satisfactory performance with non-professional musicians proves that professional musicians…

If some dumbfucks were irresponsible enough to donate money without getting complete info on the specifics of how it would be spent then that is simply bad decision-making on their parts.   I wouldn't give a penny to this project or any other unless I was satisfied I knew where all the money was going.  If Palmer was…

I still don't see how it is incumbent on Palmer to turn down volunteer labor.  Methinks your anger is misdirected.  You should be far more pissed at the volunteer musicians than at Palmer.

I don't get the backlash.  People donated the Kickstarter money of their own free will.  Nobody held a gun to their heads.  If you donated and now feel it was a bad decision, well, that's on you.   Palmer is making the album as promised, so you got no right to bitch.   Next time put a little more thought into your…

What I wanted was something like Courtney Love's on-stage meltdowns, which always look totally convincing.   Billie Joe didn't sell me, but I admit it is possible he's such a naturally cheesy twit that even his authentic meltdowns come off looking like an act.

That would be cool.  I bet it would make a good album cover.

Am I the only one here who thinks that tantrum looks phony?   It looks like bad acting to me.  Really cheesy and fake.   I was hoping for a genuine moment of a guy totally losing his shit, and this wasn't it.
