Would you still support your favourite artist if they went full anti-vaxx/Covid denial loon?

[hitmouse]

Is anyone actually being made to have vaccines yet?

Apparently it's a requirement if you want to get a job as drummer for the Offspring?

To the extent that vaccination is needed in order to play some gigs / festivals, and presumably that’s where they make their money.

Hasn't he always been an outright twunt? and no

A lot of musicians are. Still made some great albums back in the day.

Yea and its ok till I actually find out, but once I do I just cant separate the person from the music, clearest example I can think of is Ted Nugent I never followed him or his music but used to actually enjoy the odd tune when it came on the radio, then I watched some of the shit he has said when interviewed and I'll never listen to his music again

At least Nick Cave has not gone loon.

Are you going to take the Covid vaccine? I've heard horror stories about spiritualists taking it and saying their soul feels dead. I don't know what to believe anymore.

What is your opinion of Ivermectin as a prophylactic against Covid?
SANDRA, PORTLAND, USA

I had my second jab on 26th May and I can now live in this embattled world knowing that if I catch Covid there is little chance of me dying from it. I feel privileged to live in an age where our scientists are able to develop a vaccine to help combat a pandemic, and to do it at such an astonishing speed. It feels to me that this is a momentous time in medical history.

As for the prophylactic use of Ivermectin, I know little about this other than the evidence for its effectiveness appears speculative. The efficacy of the vaccine, however, is fact, and I feel I can move safely through the world with more than dog worming pills and an inflated belief in my own immune system for protection.

As for the soul, last time I checked mine seemed to be doing fine. I suspect the soul is robust enough to stand its ground against a remedy that will save so many lives. But who really knows about matters of the soul?

Although I loved him dearly, I’m kind of relieved MES isn’t around to say anything.

He would absolutely have been a complete nightmare about it.

I've never heard of the Spazzys before, but if anyone likes the Spazzys, I have some bad news for you:

Members of Melbourne band The Spazzys distance themselves from ex-drummer accused of posting “neo-Nazi propaganda”

Members of Melbourne band The Spazzys have responded to allegations that their former drummer posts “neo-Nazi and anti-lockdown propaganda”.

Once this battle between man and virus is all over, I’m pretty sure I’ll remember who it was that sided with the virus. I bear grudges like that.

I briefly sided with the virus when it was in Boris Johnson.

I've seen quite a few people live that have been mentioned in this thread. Van Morrison, Eric Clapton, Ian Brown, Richard Ashcroft. The chances of me wanting to go and see any of them again are slim for musical reasons as much as anything but their views would make me think twice.

The The has been the really disappointing one for me. He used to have his head screwed on. I wouldn't have minded seeing him live again but he's gone right down the satanic conspiracy rabbithole.

 

[AmateurAgitator]

I wouldn't wanna support them anymore

I only started listening to them about a year-year and a half ago. I wouldn't say I'm a big fan, but I'm really fond of a couple of songs.

Very disappointing for me too.

Would be genuinely devestated if Dylan went loon.

What if he turned out to be a sex offender?

I thought Clapton was a cunt before so nowt has changed for me.

I dont like the Stone Roses or Van Morrison anyway.

 

[krtek a houby]

Eric Clapton is a racist knob.

 

[Johnny Doe]

Ian Brown has long been known to be a cock, but with this stuff, it just confirms he's thick as pigshit too. I think it was the late nineties that he threatened a flight attendant and got sent down? Clearly hasn't got any brighter since

Bad news for Nicki Minaj fans:

Why is Nicki Minaj tweeting about vaccines and some guy’s swollen testicles?

The rapper missed the Met Gala because she isn’t vaccinated, but what does this have to do with the sexual function of a bloke in Trinidad? Michael Sun explains it to Steph Harmon, quickly

Don't know but my loon acquaintance is a metal fan so I am looking forward to seeing this posted in a positive light on his farcebook timeline, if any special powers are mentionned I will report.
