News
Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Maybe he's just a dumb old musician surrounded by people who let him believe his opinions are hot shit that has no idea how the real world outside of his utopia operates.
This is likely it. Not quite the same thing but similar enough, my wife does the secret shopping for some extra cash and recently did a ton of car shops, one older sales guy told her she was a smart girl because she knew about regenerative braking.
I'm sure I'll be attacked for this but I don't really care about what some people have to say, especially when you account for age and where/when they grew up. Carlos is also old enough that it's also possible it's mental decline and he is now saying the quiet part out loud because he can't filter himself as well anymore.
We saw Santana a couple of years ago and nothing like this was said or even hinted at. For the record we cringe whenever a band takes time to fellate the military or talk about some other bullshit. If they want to talk about something like mental health, great but most other topics including trans, gay, whatever are not why we are there.
Don't see Flaming Lips or Cake then. I feel like 20% is talking and it's super weird. At least the flips show is insane so it kind of makes up for it.
I don't mind the talking, it's the military worship or other nonsense that bothers me. If they want to talk about a topic that means something to them, it can be okay so long as they don't go overboard with it.
We saw mudvayne a few weeks ago and Chad talked about metal being an outlet for him and probably saving his life more than a few times. That's fine, I also wouldn't have been bothered by him suggesting people seek professional help or just someone else to talk to when they are feeling off, etc.
We saw The Offspring with Simple Plan and Sum41 last weekend and no extraneous talking happened. They did pull some new bullshit with kiss cams, booty cams, etc like it was a sporting event and that turned us off, we have seen The Offspring twice before that and they didn't have any of the extraneous bullshit.
Oh and to be clear, not caring doesn't mean it really really bothers me when stupid shit get said. It means that I don't go ree when someone has what could be a slipup and says something that could possibly be taken out of context.
