Accountability in Music • Page 442

I agree with the latter argument, but I also absolutely understand wanting horrible people to suffer and/or die.

 

i think they’re saying it in terms of “only them” getting it. Which, of course, is unlikely to happen since they would definitely see other people and spread it. But I think the main thought of it is that only the people who put others at risk would be the ones to get it, “perfect world” scenario

 

Yeah, I can understand that sentiment.

 

How are these artists even getting shows booked? That’s crazy to me.

 

I’m so fucking mad about that billboard PWR BTTM piece

 

wow that article is a WHOLE ASS fuckin mess, good lord. Writer couldn't even get gender identities right when first posting it apparently either.

 

Particularly this passage:

completely ignoring the dynamics that allowed Weinstein to continue his abuse for so long vs. just how swift and unwilling that scene was to allow Ben to continue functioning within it is infuriating

 

So did most of America.

 

Musician Ryan Adams reveals he's sober as he pens raw apology | Daily Mail Online

For anyone not wanting to give DailyMail a click:

 

oh lovely

 

Getting sober is a good choice. Really hope he continues down that path, you know, off stage. Alone. By himself. Away from victims. If "this time is different" why can't it be different without the op-ed and the attention he so clearly craves, like....idgi. The refusal to pack up, go home, and let us forget about you is a hallmark of abusers looking to reclaim their power and continue to victimize people. It's so transparent. Please just go away lol i am BEGGING

 

Teenage Wrist fires guitarist Chase Barham after sexual misconduct allegations : indieheads

from 10 days ago, the linked IG post is deleted, as well as the tweet relating to it

 

Also don't need to know about how many songs he's written "to get through it". The whole schtick of "im just so EMOTIONAL and writing this MUSIC is the only way I can EXPRESS MYSELF" is literally from the playbook of what got him here in the first place. If he was honestly doing it differently this time then he would drop the tortured artist shit for good.

 

This comes across as the first verse from Phoebe Bridgers’s “Kyoto.”

 

I feel like all of the things he says about himself in that statement are completely negated by the form it took, which is basically a thinly veiled PR announcement that he's been recording a lot of songs and will most likely be releasing something sooner rather than later, something which will come as no surprise to anybody who is even remotely familiar with the guy and how he operates.

That was a very convoluted sentence, and I couldn't think of a better way to express what I was trying to say, but basically if what he were saying about himself were true we wouldn't be reading about it like this.

 

That song is about her father.

 

For sure. I’m just drawing a parallel there.

 

Just dropping a casual reminder in here that Ryan Adams engaged in phone sex with a 14 year old. That alone should be enough to ensure he doesn't get to make a comeback.

 

queen

 

Only thing is did the Today show literally spring that up on her without prior off air talk? "I'm gonna ask you something I was kinda reluctant to" then maybe don't in a way that's trapping her live on air? She answered it with grace but geez

 

kinda cooled on mandy with all the mayor Pete and chasten stuff but dang, she is so poised. she rules.
