You’ll just have to pay a little extra for the burden you put on society as a whole, when we’ll have to pay for your multiple surgeries and treatments.

Dude you sound pretty worked up trying to defend your guilty pleasure from hard science and logic. There are people who smoke a pack a day and live til 90, sure, but we’re not over here using them as examples of why we need to stop harshing people’s cigarette buzz.* If you want to keep drinking soda, that’s fine, but…

By fake-ironically covering the music of their girl power idol, earnestly inserting himself into the world of the young women he ideally wanted to target sexually. It seemed like a…

I have literally NEVER even heard of this guy until these stories about him came up, I listened to some of his songs on Youtube and it’s typical mediocre bullshit that you hear in the background of shows and films aimed at teens(not one bit surprised that a lot of his songs were on One Tree Hill) i’ve probably heard…

So I guess NOW I won’t get judged when I say that I want to punch Ryan Adams in his stupid face?

“Great works are made by damaged men”. Quite a lot of them are - although by today’s standards they would be more accurately described as assholes with talent.
