Of course Joseph Arthur is entitled to his own opinions, and I'm entitled to mine. 

My opinion of him in light of his very outspoken stance on covid is that he can go shit in his hat. 

LMAO

Idk. I just want to stay out of this. He is a talented dude. Kills it live. what his opinions are should be a separate thing. Imho

That's cool, you have every right to feel that way.

And HE has every right to be super loud & proud about his anti-covid-vax & anti-mask views during the worst of lockdown, which is exactly what he did.

What's utter BS is him NOW crying victim because he's finally realized "Oh, people actually cared about what I said, disagreed with what I said, some thought it was dangerous and irresponsible, and now think I sounded crazy and offensive. And now they don't want to work with me or come see my shows/buy my music. And even though I proudly declared for OVER A YEAR on MY social media all these views, I'm now going to blame the LA Times for the bad image I've given myself Oh yeah, I forgot to yell "Cancel Culture must end!"". 

He can state his views all he wants, but I am SO OVER people crying victim when the rest of us state OUR VIEWS and say "Ok, bye now, no more money or business or votes or coverage for you. You said crazy dangerous stuff, so now you're dead to me".  

That is some *serious* bullshit that he's blaming a newspaper for views he loudly and proudly broadcasted for ages on his own social media. And none of the rest of us need to care since he refuses to be accountable for his own words and actions.

And the more he does this stuff, the clearer I am that I will never ever be checking his work out again. I'm literally not even faintly interested anymore in what a brain like that creates.

Hmm. Yeah. Sad. I was just on a deep ja kick a few years ago and his music got me through a few things. I'll always appriciate that,  but now, too bad he's lost it.

If he's concerned with being labeled anti-vaxx he should stop appearing at RFK Jr rallies.

No shit. He's claiming to not be anti-vax, but I very clearly remember him promoting some loud and proud anti-vaxxers throughout COVID. So even if he was narrowing his focus, that's not how it came off in the long run. If you support anti-vaxxers, doesn't that make you an anti-vaxxer too, at least in part?? I don't really get how in the world he thought he'd get away with that shit with his career still intact.

It's literally the core of RFK Jr's activism. I can understand not sharing the views of everyone you share a stage with, but you need to scrutinize the *organizer/host* of an event. If you're concerned about how people label your views anyway.

Subtle!

Uggh. Clicked thread hoping something changed. Oh well.

jesus murphy

The song is crappy, sad, hilarious and pathetic all at the same time.  I listened so you don't have to.

From the little bit I know of him as an obsessed fan for a few years. He always seemed dangerous (to himself) caring to others and very talented guitarist +. 
Too bad he has chosen this oddball stuff to go off on.
