Covidiots in music

really?! she usually shares BLM stuff, seems properly well-read and researched about that and voting rights, LGBTQ stuff, women's rights and such.

It is one of the great fallacies of our time to expect people who have good political views to have good views in other domains (or for that matter to be good people in their personal lives)

I'd be really surprised if someone was pro-BLM, etc. And then turned out to have anti-mask/vaccine opinions

Have we had a thread where we come up with conspiracy theories that are at once wildly fanastical but could hold just enough sway over people that they might believe them?

The pandemic is a political issue, shouldn't be but it's the world we live in.

How could it not be a political issue, in any world?

tech n9ne did a concert that was not distanced

Jello looks spitting image of Colin Mochrie up there

anvil, everything's political an' all, but I do think that if this had exploded a few decades ago it wouldn't have been weaponized for culture war purposes to the same degree to the extent it has

No, but there'd still be debates about what the right thing to do would be, even without culture war weaponization

If this had happened a few decades ago, when remote work & distance learning would not have been possible to nearly the extent they are now, my guess is that the degree of economic & social disruption (and probably # of deaths) would have been greater, and the public debate would may have been even more intense in certain ways.

I'd be really surprised if there weren't plenty of people who fit this description.

There literally are!

The Jill Stein libs for one

A former colleague of mine fits that description, partially because he's a conspiracy nut in general. It's been sad watching him spiral into COVID-19 related paranoia, culminating in an outburst against Facebook and YouTube for "choosing what I can believe" when they took down the debunked conspiracy videos he wanted to share. Very. Very. Sad.

Sure, but that's different from the "corona? lol!" attitude most of the artists discussed here are taking.

Browny mate, I already admired you for your music, attitude, outlook and haircut... and now your approach to all this nonsense with the "pandemic". Right on King Monkey!! 👌✊

Brown nose

It is becoming increasingly obvious why Danny Rampling is often referred to as Danny Dumpling.

I have a feeling DJ Qbert may be on the Covidiot spectrum.

yeah, i saw some recent crap re q-bert that made me question his groove.
however, seems like he has done some back peddling :

ok.

It is becoming increasingly obvious why Danny Rampling is often referred to as Danny Dumpling.

His Instagram Stories are wild.

He's also shared a video on there that claims the forehead temperature checks are actually a ploy to condition people to having guns pointed at their heads and that the infrared from the thermometers are irradiating people's pineal glands.

Right Said Fred!?

they’re just too sexy for their masks

Right Said Fred are also Brexitty

Lol... all these years, I thought they were German.

I interviewed R1ch4rd F41rbr4ss a few years ago and it was supposed to be for an oral history of I'm Too Sexy on its anniversary (!) and instead of being keen to chat about his experiences travelling the world at the peak of his fame he was so very keen to chat about Brexit and Scottish independence. Big supporter of both from a leftist perspective, local rights etc. Really bizarre experience.

Travis Tritt

Lana del Rey, to no one's surprise

i dunno, she made a bad mask choice unless i'm missing something else. does that make her a covidiot? i guess it does here.

yeah, not a COVID truther or anything, just someone for whom aesthetics are more important than safety. which should surprise mo one

a mesh face mask is pretty idiotic wrt to covid so...

it's not a "bad mask choice" it's no different than not wearing a mask

Definitely a covidiot

Clapton....more like Crapton....

Haha LDR's new album is to be called Chemtrails Over the Country Club. I was hoping it was ironic at least, or.. something.

I know I'm Cap'n Save-a-Lana and the mask thing was clearly very stupid, but there's no reason I'm aware of to think she's an actual COVID truther or whatever, just a too-committed aesthete.

Still makes her an idiot though, which fits the thread title even if she isn't on the level of Van.

I mean, it shows a stunning disregard for her fans to show up at a promo event with a mask like that, which is more infuriating to me than some dipshit tweeting stupid stuff.

just a too-committed aesthete.

if i had 8 eyes to roll, i'd roll them all

A mesh mask puts her a half step before people who scream at service employees for asking them to wear a mask. All idiots.

thanks to this board I pointed out every "dick nose" I saw in public to my friend

idiot, idiot, idiot, not an idiot, not an idiot, idiot, idiot, idiot
