Covidiots in music

I posted it in the Rolling COVID-19 Notably Infected and/or Fallen Thread (I thought posting it on this thread might be a bit on the cruel side *gulp*)

It's pretty fucking sad. I'm not posting it here for laughs btw, more out of exasperation that we're still seeing this shit happen on a regular basis after almost two years of covid

Yeah, it is really sad. This is what I posted in the other thread:

Reading that just made me incredibly sad for her son. Imagine how painful that would be to watch the entire process play out in front of your eyes with the predictable tragic result.

Alas, it would seem Meat Loaf likely belongs in here:

The singer's manager, Michael Greene, confirmed Meat Loaf died Thursday night. Sources with knowledge tell TMZ ... he was supposed to attend a business dinner earlier this week for a show he's working on -- "I'd Do Anything for Love" -- but the dinner was canceled because he became seriously ill with COVID. Sources tell us that his condition quickly became critical.

Our sources say Meat Loaf has been outspoken about COVID, railing with folks in Australia recently about vaccine mandates. We do not know if he was vaccinated.

It sounds like Danny Rampling will be turning up to vaccine centre soon with an expired crime number and a load legalese word salad with the way he’s getting worked up about his sovereignty pic.twitter.com/EELJDe4DpC

back in the day even close friends of his used to call himn danny dumpling as he is such an idiot.

Boy we have a ne plus ultra here

Guitarist ‘Big Merv' Shields of notorious #Nazi band #Screwdriver, instrumental in the notorious Blood and Honour neo-Nazi music network, had died from #Covid.

He was unvaccinated and called Covid a ‘Leftie Jewish Plot.’ pic.twitter.com/kSFLWfv04Q

Critical support for comrade rona

Pretty good plot

that's like the modern day version of a dickens villain getting his comeuppance. i mean wow, i can't even laugh. that's fucking poetry.

I appreciate that this guy is dead

Rona is just practicing for the Clapton kill shot.

clapton trending again on UK twitter for even more stupid reasons than before. more like Slowbrain yeh.

I appreciate that this guy is dead

It's what we call "addition by subtraction."

i mean if i had to guess which major american 80s hardcore scene was going to produce the most prominent anti-vaxxers, boston would be near if not at the top of the list https://t.co/ekjqOOavVQ

fwiw Choke (Slapshot/Negative FX/Last Rights) isn't a covidiot, which is in some ways surprising

i wonder how Agnostic Front feel

I think I remember reading that Vinnie Stigma is anti-vax. Roger Miret's been in and out of the hospital a lot in recent years with multiple cancer surgeries, so I'm pretty sure he's been shot up just due to the immunity risks of cancer treatment.

They could go either way

lol

I wonder this more often than I care to admit

this is going to make for a sad epilogue in the DB story pic.twitter.com/69JJJCSily

It really isn't though, wtf has Woody Woodmansy got to do with DB's lasting legacy in 2022 other than paying his mortgage.

The dude who writes books about David Bowie is probably thinking of an epilogue in a different context to you.

If the band is open to anyone who toured behind Bowie, at least they have great alternatives. Woody's great too, but Bowie's had drummers who were even better in later tours. (Sterling Campbell for one - he played on Bowie's last tour.)

This is how Andrew Lloyd Webber ended his speech at Cinderella last night:
"Does anyone know what Omicron and Delta are an anagram of?"
Audience: ...
ALW: "Media control"
Audience: *silence*

— All That Dazzles (@ATDazzles) February 4, 2022

watching the clip, the audience was far from silent

Excited for what this means for future Paul F. Tompkins ALW impersonations.

is he still doing ALW?

He did DSALW on CBB with Aisling Bea in November, and at a live show two weeks earlier

There's no "s" in Omicron or Delta, so why would anyone guess "silence"? That audience is dumb.

Also: "climate donor", "condom retail", "clarinet doom" and "erotic almond". Makes you think.

Well I mean

Bravo.

Disappointing

Surely Joe Rogan did all he can {& I'm not a fan }. He's apologised, said in future he will get guests on with counter views, whenever a guest has a controversial opinion. When did the main stream media {who've been wrong about plenty over the last couple of years} apologise? https://t.co/gjXdgP6X5o

that seems misguided but not covidiocy proper

that's a fun idea to ponder. the idea that the mainstream media, as a whole, should apologize. since no single entity owns the mainstream media (except the reptilians, LLC), i guess he's wants the individual networks to issue apologies? but aren't those what corrections and retractions are? so i guess he's thinking of individuals in the media who have been completely wrong, over and over and over, always wrong on purpose, seemingly, like sean hannity and tucker carlson, the daily mail op-ed writers, the like?

Tucker Carlson, Monday, February 7: Dear listeners, I'd like to issue a blanket apology for what I have done over the last 15-20 years of my life

The only atonement I can offer is my ritual suicide, which will be broadcast on this very program tomorrow night.

does the dexy's guy know anyone in his personal LIFE that is willing to apologize for years of lying to his face? i know so many people like that, and have ZERO expectation that they'll ever apologize, or even come to the realization that they were completely wrong in the first place, and that if they did, that they should feel some sort of oddly "human" feeling sometimes called "remorse", attached to that realization of wrongness, and that maybe their job of processing how they were completely wrong and lied for years is not quite complete until they apologize or try to make up for it somehow?

at any rate, NO ONE APOLOGIZES, EVER, is my experience with real humans

that seems misguided but not covidiocy proper

other tweets in the feed make the covidiocy pretty clear

so i guess he's thinking of individuals in the media who have been completely wrong, over and over and over, always wrong on purpose, seemingly, like sean hannity and tucker carlson, the daily mail op-ed writers, the like?

I very much doubt Kevin Rowlands is talking about Sean Hannity and Tucker Carlson. I doubt many people in the UK have ever heard of them.

He's always been a big Van the Man stan, so I don't know if that's got anything to do with it.

I apologize constantly even for things that don't warrant an apology

that's because apologies are net zero - the disregard of everyone who moved on from apologies must be paid in unnecessary expressions of regret from others
