@georgetakei@universeodon.comFreedom of speech does not mean freedom from consequences.
@georgetakei so, what did he say? It's not in the linked article.
@Frankc1450 @georgetakei It's not what he said. It's what he did: Published a book about rock'n'roll that purposely excluded anyone who wasn't white and male.
@BinroHeretic @georgetakei I know! Crazy. Joni Mitchell, Curtis Mayfield, Stevie Wonder, not articulate enough? What an a-hole!
@BinroHeretic It's also about what he said. He gave a racsist & misogynist interview about the book.
@AshCarnelian @Frankc1450 @georgetakei yes, I went back and found it. There were so many pop up adds I thought the article was over!
@georgetakei Amen to that!!
@georgetakei So this guy thinks he knows about music?
@georgetakei I guess he found out …
@caspercdn "Play stupid games, win stupid prizes."
@georgetakei this guy was a jerk way before this. If he called his memoirs “AOR guys who I feel comfortable with in public” no one would’ve cared, but his interview jabbed the knife to deep to ignore. RRHoF had to flush this turd before folks decided that they no longer needed them to get recognition
@georgetakei
Wenner has been an asshole for as long as I can remember.
@georgetakei True! Freedom of Speech was handled more generously at a time, when the American colonies rose to shake off the Brits' despotic rulership.
More generously than what must be applied facing an existential domestic threat abusing constitutionally guaranteed liberties to abolish exactly those liberties designed to benefit the public.
Reminder: Hitler was born Austrian, Germany wasn't an Austrian colony, Hitler became German citizen - and a domestic extremist/terrorist, at the end of the day overthrowing the Weimar democracy from within, benefiting from the liberties & loopholes post-imperial German democracy fatally allowed him to exploit.
@georgetakei The quick decision was interesting, though.
@georgetakei he always hated black artists. Its been written about for decades.
