Moment of reckoning for ‘Mr Nice Guy’ of music, who embraced Macklemore’s political cred only for pro-Palestine rapper to be dropped under pressure from billionaire
I’ve been told I have a voice that people listen to. So, I use it when given the chance. This was a neighborhood brewery in the deep south. People here are polite and will engage. I feel it’s important to at least register my existence as someone passibly literate and semi- informed
Yeah, that’s awesome! I am just trying to imagine that state of mind where someone would not be uncomfortable speaking to strangers, because it is so foreign to me.
Nope. But i worked for a retail job after high school where we had to help customers, and they were usually happy i was helping them, so that taught me to be a little more comfortable talking to strangers in certain situations.
Well stranger, it doesn’t get more removed from personal connection than to talk over the Internet like this. I’ve heard your sincere viewpoint and have felt no sense of impatience or ingratitude.
This wasn’t the easiest weekend of my life, going home. And you’re right that sharing with strangers opens you to a world of potential negativity. I appreciate your patience with me and hope that I represented myself with a similar level of authenticity.
That’s more than fair. Unfortunately most bartenders are strangers as well
Can’t really avoid taking to him, ya know? And if you’re asking why I didn’t keep my mouth shut, recall the topic is a papered-over genocide.
I avoid them by not going to bars lol. If i am at a bar anyway talking to the bartender is one of the hardest parts. They’re always so busy

Not from the south are ya? It’s a true stereotype. People being nice and talking to strangers
