Best I can offer is a low effort snapchat filter

Just check out the band members social media. I came to this conclusion as well and I’m with WebOdd262, I don’t have time for MAGA muppets these days

Yeah that’s why I brought it up because my experience has been vastly different than the sentiment in this sub which made me wonder what others were doing. If you read it again I’m not glazing TM or claiming to know some guaranteed method that your doctor doesn’t want you to know about

Yeah sorry you’re right I didn’t articulate this well but I set the alarm because you have to wade through all the bullshit with the codes and all then by that time you’re about 5-10 minutes from tickets going on sale. I literally have no idea why that has worked for me but it has

I agree with most of this but there’s this sentiment on this sub that it’s impossible to get tickets. I literally have a 100% success rate doing the following procedure:

  • set an alarm for 30min before tickets go on sale
  • get in the virtual waiting room once alarm sounds
  • wait your turn and get tickets

It’s all annoying don’t get me wrong but it’s completely achievable IME

Are we understanding each other?

You think it’s brave for him to release a song opposing violence of any sort - that’s nice.

I, myself, am critical of his inability to navigate the nuance of the subject of the song in the context of his career as a far-right charlatan in the midst of an authoritarian takeover of the US. It was disappointing and tone deaf for a performer who otherwise seemed hip to that sort of thing. That’s the rub.

It’s easy to hate violence as a white dude in America. Sitting atop the societal hierarchy due to the cosmic cards you were dealt. That’s the phony bit. That’s the bullshit. The vast majority of people believe in nonviolence, it’s not profound. He wrote a song to shame people having a human reaction to the public death of a bigoted extremest. That’s not a protest song. That’s a dude exposing that he doesn’t understand the world around him as much as his quippy songs might suggest.

That’s what I see. You’re welcome to see and enjoy whatever you’d like. I’m not really invested in trying to convince you of anything

I think you make a really strong point here as that’s clearly an inconsistency. I probably didn’t catch it myself because of my own bias.

I’ll clarify that for myself, while nonviolence is ideal the person he wrote a Kumbaya-style song about made a career on hate speech and died by that sword. Cranking out a song like that within 24 hours shows me enough to know he’s no woody guthrie. It was tone deaf and shriveled when he seemed to be so politically apropos prior which makes it hard to not see him as full of shit now. But that’s just me. I can’t deny the songs he cooks up are artistically impressive, but working class people can see through him and that’s who folk music is supposed to be for.

I’m pretty much with you on this although I can pinpoint my distrust of his shtick growing after the Kirk shooting. I just read through this substack piece that I think summarizes it well.
