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?

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/topics/clm1wxp5pert/malawiMalawi'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.

Someone needs to poll these. Or maybe not.

The immune system is incredibly complicated and immunologists’ brains are not complicated enough to deal with it. »7. « There are no Old Wise Men up there at the top of Science. »8. « The Science is being judged by people, the funding is being done by people who don’t understand it – and who does? Fauci?! Fauci doesn’t know enough. If Fauci wants to get on television with somebody who knows a little bit about this stuff and debate why, he could do it, because he has been asked. »9. « It might not be such a bad thing to have sex. »

If I was a big fan of his it might be considered a weird position to take? I suppose? But I'm not. He's someone I'd go and see sometimes when my main jazz buff friend suggested it, if he was playing with someone interesting usually, and he used to play all the time - pre-plandemic.

Anyway, the piece is called "Rockets for Kary Mullis", which is appropriate because, having just read up on Kary Mullis, he would appear to have been, what they would call in Glasgow, a total fuckin' rocket.

As someone in Glasgow, I can confirm everyone here woulkd say that Kary Mullis was 100% a total fuckin' rocket.
Evan Parker can go fuck himself. i think not going to see a Covid denier perform is the only reasonable position to take. As he is also an AIDS denier I might consider actively picketing any gig he played in my town.

And suggested in the responses to that Penny Rimbaud tweet, Jaz Coleman which I guess wouldn't be surprising given he's (amongst other things) a 9/11 Truther - as (he claims) persuaded by genius of Michael Meacher - ironic, given his 2020 project with Ondrej Smeykal was held up while Smeykal recovered from COVID.
Then again, "it's the pivot point where anti-authoritarianism meets excessive weed abuse."

Yes, I can't say I'm surprised about Penny Rimbaud. I saw him play at one of the worst gigs I've ever been to in my life so it's unlikely I'd have had to boycott any of his future engagements.
