Yeah

He tweeted how his wife’s bf got him a Nintendo switch to play while he recovered from his vasectomy and we’ve been making fun of him ever since

Plus he sang that white mans world song

Well said.

he's a totalitarian borderline Marxist who thinks people with different political views than him shouldn't exist

where do you get that from? this sounds really warped tbh

Besides being a social media cuck, his music has been ruined by it. See White Man's World and Hope the High Road. I'm sure it's gotten worse since that release.

How do you write a song like “White Man’s World” without letting the issue take over and become too didactic?

You just have to stay as personal with it as possible. You have to be more concerned with the narrative and your own story and how you see the world rather than how you feel other people should see the world. If you yell at people they’re going to stop listening to you. So in that song I’m trying to figure out my own role. In a society where I’ve been given so much access, what do I do to do my job correctly?

I think a big part of that is to try to consistently re-evaluate what my role is as a white male and try to figure out how I can make the playing field a little bit more equal. It is sort of a tightrope because a lot of people say if you’re a representative of the oppressor then you’re not the best person to talk about the oppression. People say Springsteen is too rich to write about working people but good songs are about empathy, compassion. I don’t think they always have to come from the mouth of the person who is being oppressed.

Who gets off on this shite?

He sang about abortions?

so two whole songs from all of the songs he's released?

tbh it's easy to separate the art from the artist for me. I don't have to agree with every opinion that artist has to enjoy their art. the world of music would be very limited if people thought that way.

Yes and sounds like such a weak pussy. Also singing about when someone else knocked her up- when she killed someone else’s baby. What a weak cuck.

Amanda Shires, Jason Isbell take up abortion on new song, 'The Problem'
In "The Problem," songwriting wife-husband duo Amanda Shires and Jason Isbell show the weight of unconditional support in four words.

"I'm on your side," they sing.

The song finds Shires and Isbell in a musical back-and-forth that wrestles with the decision to terminate a pregnancy. The two exchange lines — "What do you want to do?" Isbell sings at one point, to which Shires replies, "I'm scared to even say the truth" — culminating in a chorus that affirms unity for any decision that may come.
The chorus sings, "And all I could think to say/ Is everything's going to be okay/ It's going to be alright/ I'm on your side."

Shires released "The Problem" Monday, coinciding with International Safe Abortion Day. Proceeds from the song benefit The Yellowhammer Fund, an Alabama-based reproductive justice organization. Listen to "The Problem" in the player above.

"If anybody feels alone, I don't think they ought to," Shires told The Tennessean. "Or they can, but I'll be on their side if nobody else is."
"I didn't want to bring anything down on my family but I keep getting madder and more frustrated," Shires said. "I feel like women's health and women's rights are important and you can't wait any longer."

And the song pulls from when Shires "didn't have a good experience with ... terminating a pregnancy," she said. Strikingly candid lines — from conversations, observations and autobiographical details, Shires said — drive the song's message.
She sings, "The scars won't even show/ At least that's what I've heard/ No bigger than a baby bird."

On her experience, Shires said: "A girl ... had to take me [to the clinic] because somebody had to take you. She's not pro-choice but the thing that struck me the most about her was that even though we didn't agree (on) the same things — about the way I was handling stuff — she was still there to support me.

'The Problem'. . . is I've never heard her on key vocally nor instrumentally.

(so sad)

It's a shame that people can separate the politics from the artist when they try so hard and thoughtfully to shove it down their listeners's throats.
