I feel like their names should be said.
They are not large bands who make millions and deserve your support!
Ed Sheeran stands to gain most from this from the free publicity.
Yesterday, Ed Sheeran said he couldn’t cancel tge tour because it would screw over his other amazing supporting acts. Today, headline went like
ThreeFourAll supporting acts quit.Haven’t cared about his music, but didn’t know he was this out of touch…
he did perform at Kraft’s weddings, hes trying to not bite the hand that feeds him.
I didn’t know that since I’m not following him, but yeah, it tracks.
I choose to use my fame and platform to be a place of safety and sanctuary, to maintain diplomacy and keep conversations open, not closed.
- Sheeran in defense of a few billionaire’s right to close conversations they don’t like
he was at krafits wedding, he performed there.
I read his statement as:
I choose to use my fame and platform to shield myself and avoid uncomfortable conversations that might result in the alienation of some of my fans.
i don’t really listen to ed sheeran, but i hope his lyrics are better than his prose
He’s Taylor Swift for 50 year old women.
Doesn’t that also describe Taylor Swift?
Nah Swift is for 36 year old women.
Taylor Swift appeals to women who are mad at their ex boyfriends for not appreciating them. Sheeran appeals to older women who wished they had found a better partner than they did.
But not better in any measurable way, because that’s not Sheeran’s vibe. Just “better” while still being comfortably the same.
Naw swift is for a lot of 30 year olds male and female.
He has pros?
Iron helps us play!
He has iron in him, right?
Now, I wonder if a PR team writes his lyrics.
I doubt it would have any impact on the lyrics
I think it’s a joke implying the PR team wrote the statement.
I wooshed myself.
Oh gee, won’t you think of the poor workers who wouldn’t be able to do setup and tear down for his tour if he took a stand against genocide. It’s awful really, just awful.
Fuck pink. Fuck ed. Fuck Israel. Fuck Robert Kraft. Free Palestine!
As I understand it, all the supporting acts are out now, including his own touring band.
The touring band part illustrates his complete cowardly failure pretty well.
Yep it seems that way. Feels like a big deal. Great to see all these acts taking a stand despite the lost revenue.
His own band quit. Yikes.
See Ed this is what you could have done called the bluff you are not powerless.
Genocide Ed there is worth an estimated $400M USD. I can’t imagine having that much money and thinking “can’t cause a ruckus and lose my income.” Fucking coward.
You’re forgetting the other, equally likely option: he personally likes the genocide.
Perhaps the reason he has that kind of money is because the people that give it to him know that he doesn’t have principles to begin with.
All of this could have been avoided if Ed Sheeran had the balls to quit Ed Sheeran’s tour.
Does anyone here have any song from the supporting acts you would recommend?
Lucas Graham - 7 Years, Mama Said, and Drunk in the morning.
I hope people start demanding refunds. Teach the daywalker that actions (or lack thereof) have consequences.
If everyone’s lack of action was persecuted we’re all going to climate change jail
Climate change jail is just Earth.
I lold
If it’s relative to the level of damage then 80% of the world would only spend a day in climate change jail.
My minimum wage earning ass is getting a diversion
Maybe Pink can fill in. As long as there aren’t any Palestinians or anti-Zionists in the audience. Otherwise she might feel uncomfortable.
We must make the world a safe place for milennial wine moms
Pink is gen x
As a Gen-xer, we don’t want her. She’s got big time boomer energy
she fully physically transformed into a Karen now.
The sooner you realize there are boomers in every generation, the sooner you accept that age isn’t the old issue leading people to be complete cunts.
Idk man the boomers were an especially awful generation.
Their parents called them “the me generation”, before the baby boom became a term, because they were so selfish.
Then turned around and raised gen-x through Gen Z and called them lazy …
The boomers were a product of their time and we got fucked by them hard.
True. Boomer is a mindset.
Pink also sucks now?
When the “stopantisemitism” organisation wrote an article about macklemore pink posted it on insta and simply said “awful” or something. a week or so later she provided a more detailed stance which was kinda mixed. something like “everyone hating on me. I’m a jew. Violence is bad. hamas is bad.”
She made specific allegations that Macklemore brought out a costume designed to resemble a Jewish stereotype (black hat, beard, prominent nose) and in doing so implied that Jews had responsibility for Gaza. Was she lying or distorting things?
It was 12 years ago. He wore a disguise on stage that kinda looked like a Jewish caricature. Bad costume choice, but not antisemitism IMO.
It was an antisemitic caricature. He is in the good side of the conflict, but we don’t need any of this stuff.
Is there more context that obviously identifies it as a Jewish caricature?
I’m pretty sure this guy tried to sell me a moped in Macedonia.
–edit–
Here’s Macklemore’s response to the accusation:
He explained that he randomly chose the elements of the outfit so that he could disguise himself and move freely around during the secret show.
“I acknowledge how the costume could, within a context of stereotyping, be ascribed to a Jewish caricature,” he wrote.
“I am here to say that it was absolutely not my intention and unfortunately at the time I did not foresee the costume to be viewed in such regard.”
Lmaoo this is you rn
sure it might hurt some feelings
how many kids did that costume bomb?
Doing this shit is collaborating with the Zionists. They love shielding behind that antizionism is antisemitism.
The shit going on there doesn’t excuse racism/antisemitism
Macklemore brought out a costume designed to resemble a Jewish stereotype
When was that ?
I too missed something.
And Kid Rock.
Honestly fuck her too. I used to like her and clearly I have terrible judgement.
Robert Kraft is ultra zionist pro genocide Trump donor, btw. Owns the tour, afaik, or at least some of the arenas.
The same guy who went to rub 'n tugs
specifically at places that were under investigation for human trafficking
