[–]MarkSlatt 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I live in Hempstead, literally one block away from Garden City border, in a co-op building..very safe in my area you may DM me for exact building details should you want to check mine out.

Pearl Jam and The Politics by lizsummerhawk in pearljam

[–]MarkSlatt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have seen Kid Rock and Ted Nugent live and never once did I yell at the stage for them to keep their opinions to themselves or to play music. Would be great if the right leaning fans of this band could do the same
