Did you?  Yet you think donald trump is right for America...and the world?  Guess you were wrong...twice.  I wouldn't support that fool with a penny.  How can you be so stuck in your traditionally blind ways?  Repubelickan... ... ...no matter what?  No matter who?

Yep, Lee, I'm wrong because my opinion differs from yours.  I'm stuck in blind ways because I chose Trump over Clinton.  



Get over the "Trump over Clinton" thing.

I don't like a great many things about Hillary either. I probably share many (though likely nowhere near all) of the same issues that you do regarding her.

That doesn't excuse Trump and his cabinet's indefensible actions, like their deafening silence I mentioned in my last post.  

Like I said before, I'll agree to disagree. 

But, you know what CD.  I'll give you credit for at least being civil and respectful though we do not share the same opinions.

I try to stay civil. It's important.

What say you about the deafening silence? No problemo?

Let's keep this on-topic, minus the personal attacks as well.

May all be a moot point anyway, as barring a major change to the lineup, Mike & Bruce's Summertime Beach Band (referred to as "The Beach Boys") are not playing the inauguration.

Sorry, I actually didn't see your response.  I was distracted by another post.

To be honest, even if they did apologize for saying these things, would it really make a difference?  People are still going to point to it.  In a way, it calls more attention to it.  Should they address it?  Yeah, I think that's a fair point.

Bullshit kds.  YOU insult the site.  You insult the Beach Boys.  You insult the fans.  You insult the music.  You insult the legacy.  You insult America.  You insult the world.  You can't see the forest for the trees.  I thought you had your sh*t together.  I was decidedly wrong.  You're entrenched in your hip-waders which are firmly stuck in bullshit basement.

This sh*t should be in the sandbox.  The sandbox at Brian's house was full of dog-sh*t.  This one is firmly 'enriched' with bullshit.  Donald, his save his ass VP choice and that 'love' guy are weighted down with unadulterated sh*t PERIOD.  You want to make this personal?  OK.  You threw yourself onto that 'mound'.  I didn't.  If I was wrong...I'd admit it.  You obviously can't.

I think this crosses a line. I've disagreed pretty strongly with KDS in this thread, but I've always felt like were having a discussion. This is just personal attacks. KDS this doesn't represent my perspective at all.

Yes, I believe it would absolutely make a difference. Why do you think Nate Parker's career is now basically dead in the water? Because his apparent giant ego got in the way of publicly apologizing/accepting a modicum of responsibly for his actions years earlier, despite PR disaster companies and the studio pleading with Parker to do so. People have a capacity to forgive (somewhat, to a point) if they think the person is being sincere.

Apologies are deafening. That's a fact.

I'm glad you concede they should address it. What you really should connect next is the fact how how a failure to address those things can be felt to be a very toxic thing for a LGBT person impacted by that kind of hateful crap... and what it must be like for them to feel that people in high positions of power cannot even be bothered to address those things, despite widespread public outrage over them. It must feel like a slap in the face.

Favorite quote:

"3 Doors Down fans reacted badly."

Yeah. Both of them.

Please keep in mind the quotes from apparent actual fans of that crap band:

- "Very disappointed you'd support that ignorant pig," one wrote on the band's Facebook page.

-"I like your music and yet will never purchase another album of yours," wrote another.

-"Going home from today to BURN all of your CD's that I have and to delete all of your songs from my iTunes library," wrote a third.
 


Get ready for similar stuff on a much larger level if The BBs sneak on the bill.

These brilliant musical minds should change their name to 3 Drawers Brown, because they just sh*t the bed.

if so add BW/Al's rejection to Mike's bible of grievances... Evil

People do realize that Clinton has more than her fair share of warts, don't they? 

Perhaps this thread could have been more about "should the Beach Boys affiliate themselves with any one particular political stance"? rather than being an anti-Trump thread.  Maybe things wouldn't have gotten so heated.

1) Yes. Most definitely, yes. I voted for neither.

2) Agreed. Probably would have stayed on topic more too

As HeyJude has pointed out numerous times, *this specific* candidate is unique in all sorts of ways, which makes it a uniquely different thing as opposed to playing for ANY other major candidate - including Hillary - in the history of this country.

Except, as expressed by several posters above, many of the objections to Trump aren't really to do with what we normally mean by "a political stance." I think many people feel (needless to say, I agree) and have expressed in this thread that the reaction to the inauguration of just about any other current or recent past successful politician, Republican or Democrat, would have, and has, been different.

As I see CD just said simultaneously.

Sorry to offend.  Republican, which I generally deplore, or Democrat, which I begrudgingly, sometimes, prefer...aside.  Wrong is wrong and a uniquely wrong candidate and his choice as a ruiningmate can not be defended.

I've been posting with kds for some years now...and not just here.  We generally agree re: music.  We do not agree re: politics.  I am in favour of the better choice.  He, apparently, is only in favour of his preferred party candidate{s}.  We'll  seldom agree on THAT.  Maybe Dwight David Eisenhower?

The point IS that THIS thread is about that 'love' guy deciding whether or not to perform at the trumpauguration.  It was not a defend dirty donny thread...let alone anything whatsoever to do with his arsewipist running mate 'Adolf' Pence.  Yet...as has often been the case here...the thread gets kidnapped and changed into something else.

No trump.  No Beach Boys.  Ever.

Many people actually think Trump is a better choice than Clinton.  And many people actually voted against Clinton because they are tired of "politics as usual".  Trump supporters should be tolerant of Clinton supporters and vice versa.  But tolerance is hard to find these days.

Right. Like when Trump's cabinet member calls lesbians "dikes" publicly, and refuses to apologize for it.

What was it again you were mentioning about tolerance?

I'm taking the last word on this one. Around 1pm I saw the reports start to come in about the performers' list and lineup for the different events on the 19th and 20th and posted the news. Has there been a definitive word from the Beach Boys' organization as in yes we will play or no we will not? Nothing that I have seen. But the point is, as far as keeping things on topic, the actual answer to the topic of this thread was posted and no one bothered to take note of it. And it turned into a free for all removed from the actual topic at hand which people would be asking about since post #1. It's good Billy was here to take care of it a few hours ago, I was away and offline since the news broke and I posted it.

Will they play? Won't they play? If the news reports publishing what the Trump people told them is any indication, the band is not scheduled on any of the events. But will they make a surprise guest appearance? Who the hell knows at this point. I guess the phrase of the day is stay tuned.

But that's it for this one. The politics should stay in the Sandbox, period.
