lol

Varg Vikernes

SHOCKAH

Never mind, he's 'only' an anti-vaxxer.

please don't sully the good name of varg

It's cool, I said Varg Vikernes, not Louis Cachet.

Lol good name of Varg. Top ten assholes in music list, if not top five or three

hmm now I'm wondering

GG
Varg
The Nuge

Graeme Garden?

John Phillips

Didn’t realize the Clapton/Van M. track had such hot lyrics:

”Do you wanna be a free man/ Or do you wanna be a slave?/ Do you wanna wear these chains/ Until you’re lying in the grave?” Clapton sings.

Other lyrics include: “Magna Carta, Bill of Rights/ The constitution, what’s it worth?/ You know they’re gonna grind us down, ah/ Until it really hurts/ Is this a sovereign nation/ Or just a police state?/ You better look out, people/ Before it gets too late.”

The song ends with Clapton singing, “Dick Turpin wore a mask too,” referring to the 18th century highwayman who wore a mask to conceal his identity while committing crimes.

Counterpoint: Spiderman wears a mask, too

Dick Turpin didn't cover his breathing holes, and did one accidental killing and one on purpose. Spider-Man is fully masked, and has only ever accidentally killed: his girlfriend (snapping her neck because as a genius-level scientist, he forgot that physics exist); and his wife (cancered up by filling her with radioactive jizz).

Oh god - let’s not do the whole Gwen Stacy retcon forensics deep dive again so soon!! ;)

I honestly don't remember doing it before! But okay:

If Clapton had been wearing a mask, he might not have had enough puff to throw his son out that window.

Connor Clapton can rest assured that he'll never have to worry about seeing his dad in Heaven

Suprised Sir Van managed to avoid mentioning the Battle of the Boyne in there.

(xp) Tiers In Heaven

Dick Turpin didn't cover his breathing holes

I don't think any of the common images of Turpin in action are in any way based in reality, but I guess it would have to be Ballsmandible Turpin.

Iggy not a covidiot...

I mean...Nuge is a dickhead but

Nuge is a child molester (but so's Iggy... and apparently everyone who stayed in Los Angeles from 1970-1974 except for Keith Richards somehow)

SAVAGE

Earlier this year, Morrison referred to preventive measures as pseudoscience, and "Stand and Deliver" marks his fourth anti-lockdown track after "Born to Be Free", "As I Walked Out," and "No More Lockdown." This latest, though, is the first to infect another Rock and Roll Hall of Famer.

Van Morrison, whose hits date all the way back to 1964 with the band Them, has written controversial lyrics in the past. His 2005 tune "They Sold Me Out" is one of a series of anti-music industry songs in in repertoire, but repeated references to "shekels" raised some eyebrows at the time. Clapton, during his years of a well-documented drug addiction, went on a notorious racist rant while onstage in 1976, for which he has since apologized.https://www.vanityfair.com/style/2020/12/eric-clapton-and-van-morrison-release-their-anti-mask-anthem"> https://www.vanityfair.com/style/2020/12/eric-clapton-and-van-morrison-release-their-anti-mask-anthem

Clapton's apology was terrible IIRC, like "I had so many black friends [what was I doing]!!"

Whoever this guy is: https://variety.com/2020/music/news/rapper-lil-pump-anti-mask-banned-jetblue-airline-tantrum-1234876095/

Can’t get COVID if you’re barred out.

https://variety.com/2021/music/news/berlin-terri-nunn-apologizes-mar-a-lago-new-years-eve-1234878605/

...Terri Nunn of the group Berlin has issued an apology for the controversial gig, saying she didn’t know it would be perceived as taking a political stand, and expressing shock at the lack of COVID protocols at the resort.

“I am truly sorry I performed at Mar-a-Lago and would not have done so if I’d known what I learned while I was there,” Nunn wrote.... “My goal in performing was not to support a political party. I see now that that’s not the way it appeared and I am apologetic for that as well.”

Taylor Dayne was there, too(!)

Dayne, for her part, had tweeted and then deleted her own statement earlier. Screenshots show that Dayne wrote, “I’m saddened by all this. I have a 30-year career that (includes) many diverse friendships. And I try to stay non political and non judgmental and not preach. I sing from my heart purely and from Source (sic). I wish for all to be who they need to be… and find their way.”

either incredibly naive or (more likely) completely disingenuous

that vaguely passive aggressive, new agey tone that Taylor Dayne has adopted (she's far from the only one) there is one of the most infuriating things to me

That Nunn apology reads more sincere, but what size rock would you need to be living under to get hired for a gig at Mar-A-Lago in 2020/1 and not consider the potential political implication before you got there?

is there footage of the maskless Mar-a-Lago crowd roaring along ironically wirh “Take My Breath Away”?

honestly they should just say "i needed the money" which is probably the case

xp Oh shit Malawi covid numbers actually spiking since just after that...

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/topics/clm1wxp5pert/malawi
Malawi's President Lazarus Chakwera has taken personal blame for being among those responsible for the recent rise in Covid-19 cases in the country.

There's been a "collective sense of relaxation in adherence to Covid prevention measures among many Malawians including myself," Mr Chakwera said in a radio address on Sunday.

The president was heavily criticised last week when images and videos circulated showing him and visiting pop musician, Madonna, shaking hands and posing for pictures without wearing masks or observing social distance.

oh sorry, it's the same bollocks he posted before - IGNORE

FACT

I got as far as "my scepticism with the medical mafia began when my sister was diagnosed with cancer and given just 12 months to live. me and my mam scoured the internet for a cure but she died anyway."

was reading article in the guardian on marianne faithfull's new album and her near death from covid and remembered reading years ago that she and van morrison lived in the same village and used to sit in each others kitchens drinking whiskey. was wondering if they still spoke and if she'd be upbraiding him right now

Is it any wonder why the UK is suffering one of worst in the world with #COVID19?

Too sexy for my mask

deeply derpy when we don't wear a mask

the Heathrow tweet turns out to be specifically referencing their third single, that stalled out at #29 after the first three hit #2, #3 and #1.

also credit where
