In words barely more eloquent than those, we spent the next hour, on and off, bemoaning that we had covered the wrong show - like two spoiled brats who had each found a shiny dime at his feet but grumbled that it wasn’t a quarter. I clicked on the setlist link, scanned down, and texted back: “Oh fuck…” No apocalypse, no emergency, just a Pearl Jam setlist that he liked better than the one we got two nights earlier at Wrigley Field. As I shrugged off sleep to try and figure out what exactly that meant, the rest of his message came through: “Tonight’s set was so much better.” I stopped getting dressed and sank back into bed. That was the only word Editor-in-Chief Michael Roffman texted me late Monday night. Long live Frank Turner.Editor’s Note: This article originally ran in 2016. And if God bought him a house, good for him. And I love that Dustin sings about Jesus. I love you guys and girls, and guys who used to be girls and girls who used to be dinosaurs, and every other one of you. I can’t spell, I can’t form a proper sentence, and punctuation is a lost cause on me, but We should be educating each other, and helping each other not throwing around unwarranted insults and slander. We do have to be able to express our thoughtsĪnd not fear chastisement from our peers. I don’t think we all have to agree… how many bands love Fugazi yet sell t shirts? I do.īut we do have to have open discussions.

If we, as open-minded music fans become closed off to anything outside our realm of thought, then who will be left to be open? Where will we be free to express ourselves? But it’s just silly now, and I truly believe it’s dangerous.

I’m all about people posting their thoughts on forums and expressing themselves freely. “In a soldier’s stance I aimed my hand at the Mongrel dogs who teach.įearing not that I’d become my enemy in the instant that I preach." Bob Dylan has a great quote I’d love to have posted above the White House’s doors… he said… It’s a dangerous game you’re playing by being the very thing you speak out against. Were all German people Nazis? Absolutely not. Are all Muslums terrorists because a few insane people used the religion for their twisted ideas? No. Do you even know what these words mean before you go tossing them around people’s necks?īono, which whatever you think about him, once said something really great… “Don’t judge a band by it’s audience.” Take that a step further and you go into humanity, don’t judge a group of people by one small percentage. Why don’t you ask anyone who’s gay who knows Dustin about how poorly he’s treated them? I bet you don’t get the response you were looking for. Ask my wife all about sexism (def: discrimination or devaluation based on a person’s sex) and how our household is run… I tell you what, this Christian’s house is a woman’s world! And homophobia (def: a person who fears or hates homosexuals)? Great. Well thought out, those people are class acts. And how did Christians become racist, sexist, homophobes? What’s a Christian to you? FOX News anchors? Awesome. Most of you have never taken a stance in your life like some of these people do. (yea, Laura Jane comes to mind…I dare you to come forward like that.) You all just sit there and post on the internet uneducated quips about how Dustin’s a Christian so that somehow = racist, sexist, homophobe? (I wonder what Teppei thinks of Dustin’s obligatory Christian racism being he’s Japanese and all?) The guy wants to praise his Lord, whatever… how does that affect you? Even Fat Mike agrees with “Happy Guy” check that out. The thing that drives me crazy is that all of the people who post ridiculousness about all these musicians and love to comment on everything but never actually go and do anything themselves. Real life happens to people in the spotlight. These people have lives that are more important than the thing they do that we love and admire. You have to keep in mind that it’s not your band. I understand some Thrice fans might be bummed that they broke up, but bands do that from time to time and it happens. Dustin Kensrue feels led by The Lord to leave Thrice and play worship music. I know nothing of this church, and so I can not defend them because I don’t know about them.*** I’m writing this to address people I read attacking Dustin himself. ***EDIT: To clarify ONE THING… Mars Church or whatever… I have no idea what this is. I guess I’m gonna have to change this blog’s name to “Sticking Up For ”
