Third Eye Blind Headline Charity Event at RNC • Page 2

This is awesome. I thank you for sharing.

 

Always love 3EB. I wonder how he got into this situation in the first place though.

 

I'd wager everyone in that room was a dick, Jenkins included.

 

Gem of a quote right there!

 

OK WTF. This was a charity event for something they believe in, and they still shafted the people that paid money to support the cause.

To clarify:

We did not play an RNC event. We performed at a benefit for Musicians on Call because we support their mission in bringing music to the bedsides of patients in hospitals.

Given that the benefit was held in Cleveland, we suspected that convention types might show up and we let it be known we were there to support Musicians on Call and that we in fact repudiate every last stitch of the RNC platform and the grotesque that is their nominee.

--Science is science.
--Coal is not clean.
--Black Lives Matter.
--LGBTQ = equal.
--Separation of church and state (still a good idea)

We could go on.

We have Republican friends, family members, and fans, and we love them all. What we reject is what their party has come to stand for. But in keeping with Musicians on Call's message, we believe in the gathering power of music. With that spirit we don't step back from our audience wherever or whomever they are.

Warmly, your friends in 3eb.

As a fan of theirs, I would have been perfectly happy seeing them play the set list posted earlier. They have some great songs that aren't called Semi-Charmed Life.

 

I think it's safe to say that a good amount of people at their shows are only casual fans. I'd bet the majority of people in attendance think Out of the Vein is their most recent release. That just comes from the two shows I've attended.

 

Oh for sure. Wish Dopamine got more hype. And as someone who's seen them multiple times, man they've played basically the same set for years.
