And I hope that you die
And your death’ll come soon
I will follow your casket
In the pale afternoon
And I’ll watch while you’re lowered
Down to your deathbed
And I’ll stand o’er your grave
’Til I’m sure that you’re dead

-- Bob Dylan, "Masters of War"

Huge intolerant asshole, that Dylan.

So because Dylan wrote a song wishing death upon a figurative person sending thousands off to die in war, that should be the acceptable attitude to take? We should cheer when a rockstar stands on stage and wishes death upon people he disagrees with? No thanks

His point was a good one, but...yeah: he expressed it in a very shitty way. It didn't quite ruin the show for me, but it definitely killed the vibe for a bit.

Yea and he was a *little* loaded by that point so eloquence probably eluded him.

Still, praising tolerance while being intolerant did seem a little hypocritical.

Alcohol/drugs is never an excuse... sorry

Eddie is now a drunk intolerant #evenbro? lol nice job

Controversial...

Wasn't Ed's point that eventually racism and homophobia will die out...rather than being an attack on fat people tho...

Yes...that was my interpretation

That was a classic to be fair.

That wasn't classic at all...

I guess that is where we are at now in the world of politics & social issues... wish death upon those we disagree with...

Dont expect me to cheer that dumb shit

It is the left's playbook. Suppress and eradicate any viewpoint they don't agree with.

Because he referenced his daughters when speaking about this and only out of perspective, do you have a child/ren and have you ever been in a similar circumstance?

Yea not an excuse, but I think it affected his ability to make the point. And we've all been there so it's ok to forgive and forget.

I'm never ("ever ever ever" - T. Swift) surprised when hate comes out of a far-left liberal's mouth. They are fueled by it.

This is ludicrous. A true liberal is in no way fuled by hate.

I also felt it was off the mark. (And it ruined the song.) I don't think it'll come off well on the bootleg.

I'm pretty sure the Right has the solid lock on hate and intolerance... I would have a hard time naming more than a few liberal minded people I know that condone hatred, violence or bigotry - but most of the vitriol I encounter comes from people who consider themselves conservative.

To be fair, the right does the same thing.

There's a huge gap between wishing someone's death and feeling like someone's death won't be a great loss for humanity. My 2 cents

yeah that confused me. I mean look at NC right now, making it ok to discriminate, no hate there at all ... PJ cancelled the show there in a non-hateful way so...

This is not a left issue... This is not a right issue... This is a don't be an asshole issue

I think he mentioned (from what I read) that this guy was being a jackhole in front of his kids and he set the right example letting it slide.
I don't think there is anything wrong with hoping a certain perspective fades with people who are older as they hit the dirt-nap.

Just my opinion, there is nothing wrong with you stating yours and I take nothing away from what you feel/express here.

F Me In The Brain said:

Exactly. Being tolerant doesn't mean you can't have rage against what violates your own values, it means, like you said, that you don't actually silence or harm the folks you despise. Wanting someone to die, and as you said setting a good example by keeping it to yourself until you're among family and friends. is fine. I like be that he felt comfortable enough to speak from his heart. It was clearly spontaneous, and the tone was actually not venomous, it was cathartic and commiserating.

Good two cents!

It seems like a lot of false outrage.

Maybe a little surprised and disappointed.... but I don't think we need to sharpen the pitchforks and light the torches.
