By mid-September, we received available dates at these arenas through the end of the year. But once they found out these were my benefit shows for Palestine, those dates were suddenly off the table.
The doors were closed. The conversations were all different, but the result was the same. The shows were not going to be allowed to happen in these venues.
The strong “we” there is the nationalism I was warning against again. Macklemore, like most people, is an individual. I’m glad you’re able to judge him on his own merits. I can’t give exact numbers, but can guarantee most Americans have no interest in threatening you. That’s being done by maybe a few thousand people who are threatening the rest of us too. I’m old, remember “Freedom Fries” all too well, and just don’t like watching history repeat itself yet again. This was not meant as a judgment but a warning, and I sincerely hope you can avoid the same pitfalls that made “us” “your” enemy in the first place. Good luck up there.
Lecture me after you fix your shit.
conservative Americans have this wierd persecution fetish going on, dont mind him, dont entertain people like him.
Me from the bottom of this hole: jump then, I guess
Have you considered getting out of your hole?
