DEAR UNITED KINGDOM: Come get your girl.

The sense of community created by non-scumbags at shows can be one of the most incredible feelings. I was at a metal show at a tiny, packed club when I was 18 and this dude kept “accidentally” groping me. I tried to move away without losing my view of the stage, but I was right at the edge of a mosh pit too (which I

A LOT of the emo and pop punk concerts I went to as a teenager made statements like that. It was a huge deal, especially at Warped Tour when people tended to be wearing fewer clothes overall. I hear a lot of jokes about how much some of these bands suck, but it was nice as a teenage girl for a dude to recognize that

I got groped by this skeezy looking skinhead at a GWAR show a few years back and he just literally would not leave me alone. I’d move to another point in the crowd and he’d follow me and just stand directly behind me and run his hands up and down my sides and across my chest. When the crowds get tight like that,

World’s most depressing job?

Remember the people who claimed they were going to vote for him because he was rich and he wouldn’t be corrupted?

Don’t forget Melania and Barron in their golden tower, where agents have to rent space from the president to protect his wife and son.

YES! Call that asshole out. I was at a Queens of the Stone Age show some years ago (also in The Netherlands) and Josh Homme stopped a song to call out a man who was bothering women in the crowd (I forget what he was doing but one can guess). He refused to resume playing until the guy left. That’s the way to deal with

That’s amazing. It also seems incredible to me that he was able to notice that in the middle of performing, but I’m not a professional musician, so I have no real basis for thinking that.

Yeah? Feminists blame the beautiful, needy, aggressive young women for their affairs?

A few thoughts.

I mean, I’m not surprised. It’s just that this takes callousness to a whole new level. Even if the events had nothing to do with angry, neo-Nazis rioting partially in the name of Trump (as David Duke so kindly reminded us), you don’t essentially blow up the phone of a woman on THE DAY OF HER CHILD’S FUNERAL. Because

Oh shit, you’re probably right.

Since they first tried to contact her DURING THE FUCKING FUNERAL, “no.” Not a single one of them.

You go, Susan Bro. She’s well aware that this man doesn’t give a flying rat’s fuck about her or her murdered daughter so no mealy-mouthed capitulation for her.

During. The. Funeral.

“The call — the first call looked like actually came during the funeral. I didn’t even see that message,” she said of Trump’s initial call, which she had missed.

In his head it probably played out like a movie with Ms Bro stopping the funeral and telling everyone to be quiet so they could all huddle around the phone adoringly listenening to Trump

I am in awe of Ms.Bro. She is living through the absolute worst nightmare of any parent and still she stands by her (and her late daughter’s principals).

Of course he called her during the funeral. Either he was too dumb to realize that much of the country was busy watching the funeral on TV or he intentionally called during that time so he didn’t actually have to talk to her.
