I need to take the time to write out why a rock star who hasn't fully thought out his political views is Bad and Not Good

I've noticed this a lot after the election especially, in how liberals have reacted to poor people in red states begging Trump not to take their health insurance. There's just this horribly sociopathic and merciless attitude a lot of supposedly thoughtful and empathetic people have, and I don't think they realize how…

His verse on Mercy continues to own

standing up for things is bad and virtue signalling

Jesse Hughes isn't what I'd call a nice guy, but I'm not looking forward to the inevitable "he's a Trump supporter, he should've died at the Bataclan" reception this will get from some people. The guy's had a rough life.

that story is fucking amazing

this is by far the best meme of 2017

let's read as deeply and cynically into celebrity apologies as we possible can

That's fair

Looked up the lyrics, and at first I was like "wow this is surprisingly empathetic," because it's from the perspective of a muslim couple who are being oppressed by extremists, but it turns out that the whole second half of it is about how George W Bush answered their prayers by bombing the middle east

I'm genuinely surprised that some band hasn't offered to play Trump's inauguration with the intent of disrupting it and playing "Nazi Punks Fuck Off" or something.

I mean, yeah, it was clearly a joke, they just turned into a nice charity thing too

Probably not. But I think he did the classy thing by owning up to it like he did.

It can be a shitty thing to say to someone else, but when you say it about something you yourself did it generally shows a lot of humility. He's just trying to do the right thing. I wouldn't lump this in with outrage culture.

Damn, this is one of the better celebrity apologies I've heard. Good for him.

This is nice. Good on them.

he deliberately recruited little girls to perform sex acts on him and each other. pop stars with skeezy or irresponsible personal lives are a dime a dozen but r kelly is literally a predator.

yeah, like Trapped in the Closet is funny but there's so much about him that's deeply unnerving knowing what we do about him

Oh, come on. They shouldn't do this. I liked how the CGI was used in Rogue One, but this is just tasteless.
