Accountability in Music II • Page 23

With the rare exception, your favorite artist doesn't care about anything except for what is going to get them the most money

 

Oh it's the comedy festival situation again eh, hope at least some of the artists who get deserved pushback on this at least stay honest and say they couldn't resist the money. Halsey being the biggest side eye for me.

 

yeah same about Halsey. The rest make sense

 

Musicians make way more sense than standups in terms of selling out to saudis

 

say what you will about Shane Gillis (and lord knows he’s doing fine in terms of money), but he did turn down the saudi money

 

In what world does Idris Elba need to sell out for more money? So weird.

 

couldn’t tell he definitely isn’t talking about how brave he is to say no every five seconds

 

My only guess is that millionaires have a fetish for blood money.

One of the dudes who books furnace fest. He also ran 1981 clothing and works at the smart punk tent at riot, furnace, four chord and the fest. If you’ve been in the scene at all the last two decades you know who he is.

 

Ian Watkins was stabbed to death yesterday in jail

 

Hope the knives are okay. Good fucking riddance.

 

Looks like they still kill the old way.

 

HYB

 

my worst name twin

 

Buddy, you should see the shit Ian H Watkins from Steps puts up with

 

Hope his victim and their family are able to find peace with this.

 

Wasn't the family the ones who tried to arrange it with him?

 

Yep. Two of the "mothers".

 

Sorry, meant to say multiple victims. And family can apply to guardians or whoever is trying to protect these kids and help them heal. I really don’t feel like reading the old articles about his crimes.

 

Rest in piss.

 

I hear you, I didn't care to fact check either. Of course anyone harmed by this monster deserves to find peace and hopefully this gives some small measure of that.

 

Kind of surprised it took this long but glad it’s finally happened.

 

I forget how horrible even some of the high level detail of it all was. He was an awful stain on humanity.

 

my exposure to Lostprophets only extended to two instances - playing Rooftops on Guitar Hero IV and hearing about this mans crimes (which obliterated any further interest). good fucking riddance, hope he rots.
