Covidiots in music

Half conspiracy half site new answers.

He's Not the Kingpin

Morrison just listing off different Daredevil villains.

looking forward to finding out who owns the media

WHO owns the media

Sully Erna from Godsmack seems...confused about some things.

During a new appearance on "The Mistress Carrie Podcast", GODSMACK frontman Sully Erna said that the coronavirus is not as deadly as health officials have made it out to be. "I'm sorry, man, and there may be some people that may get mad at me about saying this, but COVID is not a global killer," he said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET). "It's doing damage, and it's certainly affecting the elderly, and we pray for them, and we are really sympathetic towards that, and that's why we're all wearing masks, that's why we're all doing our job. Because there's a lot of us that aren't afraid of COVID, and we know that we're probably gonna blow right through it. But we don't wanna roll the dice with our loved ones, so we're being responsible. But at the same time, the reality is this isn't a global killer. It's gonna pass, we're gonna get past it, and we need to get back to normal. So we have to influence the strong to get out there and start working and start going to school and doing what they need to do so we can create population immunity. That's what's gonna get us through this. And then we'll be able to get back to normal."

Erna also repeated a narrative pushed by conservative media and disputed by health experts that suggested the official death count of 516,000 from the coronavirus in the U.S. was inflated.

"There's been a lot of things proven within the media, the news, to who's on what side of what, and whether some of this was a political agenda to begin within, whether the numbers are accurate enough to be able to base it on, those half a million people dead," Erna said. "Because there was a lot of people coming forward, a lot of doctors and everything, saying, 'Why the fuck are we being asked to put COVID on everything? Why did someone just die of pneumonia, and we have to write 'COVID'? Why did someone come in and have a heart attack, and we're being told to write 'COVID'?' So whether that half-a-million number is correct, that's the part that I feel like we need to be responsible enough to try and be optimistic about not steering people down one rabbit hole, because that's what CNN does on one side and Fox does on the other side. So CNN delivers one side of this, and Fox takes you down a different rabbit hole."

He continued: "The thing with COVID is I myself know at least — at least — a dozen, two dozen people, maybe, that have gotten COVID. And I have a friend of mine that, three months later, he's, like, 'I'm still having some issues. And it's weird — I'm getting dizzy spells. I'm getting this, that and the other thing. And what the fuck?' And then I know another group of people that were, like, 'Dude, I've had a hangover that was worse than this. I had a fever of 99 for about a day and a half and haven't had a problem since.' And so it affects everybody differently, and that's the big mystery."

Why the fuck are we being asked to put COVID on everything? Why did someone just die of pneumonia, and we have to write 'COVID'? Why did someone come in and have a heart attack, and we're being told to write 'COVID'?'

In retrospect, 'there is no such thing as a stupid question' is among the biggest lies I was told as a kid.

in general, I get bored with "noted dumbass spouts some dumbassery" pretty quickly but Sully always seems to be the exception to that rule; I will never tire of laughing at his stupid ass

This isn't complicated: COVID both is and is not a big deal, is and is not a killer, is and is not affecting the entire world, we should both wear masks and scoff at the need for masks. I don't know why you're confused about my position here. COVID is just like...everything, man, knowhuti'msayin'? (takes 45-second bong rip while wearing 'CRIMINALIZE THE POT' t-shirt)

maybe they called themselves Godsmack because every time Sully gives an interview, God manifests and slaps the shit of him while yelling "STOP MAKING ME LOOK BAD"

Tbf that ship has sailed.

A Clinic song popped up on shuffle the other day and now I really want one of them to show up here as an anti-masker

Ian Brown steps down from festival over vaccine

What a fucking tool.

Good news for music fans. Mind you, look at the rest of the line-up.

I imagine some of the potheads i used to listen to the Stones Roses with back in the 90s probably have similar ideas about microchips and control magnets or whatever but they dont get covered in the press fortunately

!?

Congratulations @MrAndyNgo

Finally had the time to read your important book

didn't these wankers hang out with jordan peterson at some point, when he was functional

yeah that's him.

Jordan Peterson has never been functional

Endorsing Andy Ngo's book transcends covidiocy. Hope that dude gets 1000 milkshakes thrown at him.

Tbh it's not possible for me to think less of him than I already did even tho I had no idea what his name is

I am pretty sure I have barely ever thought of Mumford & Sons, let alone who the random banjo player is. Gotta have some seriously fucked views to call that dude "brave," or just no idea at all at what Ngo's been up to outside of his terrible book over the years.

Peterson was relatively functional as a shepherd slash daddy figure for a whole load of incel baby-fascists. but not so much now. would that this band had suffered the same fate

and if you're endorsing ngo you're basically a nazi and nothing should be off the table. if you didn't know what he's about you wouldn't know who he ias

*is/was

So fucking proud that The Post Millennial, a Canadian magazine, is enabling his fash shit.

Marshall was born in Wandsworth, London, England,[3] and is the son of Sabina De Balkany and Sir Paul Marshall, a British investor and co-founder of the Marshall Wace hedge fund.[4] His mother is of French origin.[5] Marshall was educated at St Paul's School, an independent school in London.[6]

Marshall is an avid supporter of Manchester United F.C.[12]

Marshall was in a band prior to Mumford & Sons called Captain Kick and the Cowboy Ramblers,[16] a bluegrass sleaze rap band,[17] in which he was credited as Country Winston and played the banjo and guitar.

not advocating anything, i'm just saying, even if he wasn't a nazi,

lol I wonder if he's related to these absolute champs of French corruption through his mother:

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/may/28/french-power-couple-patrick-isabelle-balkany-given-jail-terms-for-money-laundering

"a bluegrass sleaze rap band"

oooh, please let there be AV proof that can kill this f$ckers career.

idk about his mother's family but wouldn't be shocking- here's his dad. could these people be any more the enemy?

Sir Paul is the co-founder of hedge fund Marshall Wace and was a donor to the Vote Leave campaign.
The businessman is also co-founder and chairman of ARK Schools, a multi-academy trust of 38 schools, and funded political website Unherd.

also a major funder of upstart andrew neil helmed r/w media venture in the OP. fascinated by the depths of hatred i'm feeling rn

Winston by name, Winston by nature.

endorsing Ngo's book is very much in line with the rest of Winston Marshall's twitter too. it's 90% anti-china stuff and then the rest is pro-brexit, anti-woke, the left are the real extremists, endorsing kanye's weird christian turn, etc.

I hope he snaps his banjo string

Mark E Smith OTM

mark e smith was also a tory of course though

more like mitford & sons

there's a fair bit that crosses the line from just HK freedom stuff into advocating for the west taking a harder line against china & increasing tensions etc.

I didn't see anything objectionable in that part, Western governments have been utterly cowardly on HK & Xinjiang.

true but what would bravery look like

(Jordan) Peterson posted a photo of himself with Lovett and bandmates Winston Marshall and Ted Dwane at their studio. It took a couple of months for the music press to notice it, but when they did there was a small outcry – and an opportunity for wags on social media to lay into the band (“I assumed they were, ‘My dad was a vicar’ Tory, not ‘concerned about white birthrates’ Tory,” quipped one Twitter user). Lovett is unapologetic. “I looked forward to having a conversation with him, but only because I wanted to have a conversation with as many people as possible,” he says, although he can’t remember what they actually talked about.
..He describes Peterson as “an intellectualist more than anything: I don’t think he particularly likes how political it is”. Mumford smirks back: “I think he loves it.”

In response to "I don't know why he is so into this but it's really worrying to me that it's automatically counted as a strike against someone" I would ask you: what do you know about Andy Ngo, what do you know about what his book is actually about, and what do you know about what he has gotten up to for a number of years that has led up to this book? If you know plenty about Andy Ngo and are asking that question then there isn't much to say. In my opinion calling Andy Ngo "brave" and his book "important" AFTER having read it isn't really a casual statement. You believe some terrible shit if you take Andy seriously (he lies fucking ALL THE TIME) or, worse, think that he is making these points in good faith and also agree with them (which it is hard to suggest this asshole doesn't since he is literally endorsing the book).

CaAL was talking about the HK stuff, not the Ngo stuff. Ngo is fash, pure and simple.

“I assumed they were, ‘My dad was a vicar’ Tory, not ‘concerned about white birthrates’ Tory”

^^^ Yeah, this is about it. Obviously a foul and despicable band from the off, but I had no idea a) how fucking insanely posh they are, and b) how fucking insanely fash they are.

thanks emily, yeah the andy ngo stanning is inexcusable and I was clear that I wasn't talking about that

Oh sorry, that just got lost in the shuffle. Sorry I missed it and please ignore my comment.

It's strange, I remember a few years ago they released a single with Baaba Maal that I actually...well, it wasn't as terrible as I thought it was going to be, let's just say that. (I only heard it because it played constantly on the radio in the small geographic region where i was living).

Wouldn’t the prominent use of a banjo drive their new alt-right fans insane?

Perhaps, yet Trump fans love "YMCA," there is no logic in this world
