in a clip I saw yesterday from the listening party/ rave/ whatever he dragged his children on stage for, when the lyric about how can I be antisemitic I just fucked a jewish b#tch, that line was left for the pre recording while kanye started chanting kill, kill, kill

he sounded off his fucking face too

at least he's not going to make bank selling to literal nazis, but I think a bunch of libs are going to buy into this stuff without critiquing anything, and end up in reich-ous running gear

here's Billy Joel's actual account, not just what's on Wikipedia

In a Weekly Wire preview of last week's Billy Joel show at KeyArena, Erika Hobart recounted a well-trod story, first reported in The New York Times, of the piano man throwing a total hissy fit onstage in the Soviet Union in 1987, overturning his instrument after bright lights flooded the auditorium, and declaring: "It's my show!" Our write-up implied that Mr. Joel was upset with audience members and had likened them to characters in an oil painting.

Well, Mr. Joel—lounging, apparently, in his hotel suite with a bowl of green-only M&M's and a fresh copy of the Weekly, as per his hospitality rider—called our editorial offices last week to contest that version of events. Seriously, he did. Here is his rejoinder, as transcribed by an awe-struck Mike Seely:

"Remember, this was the Soviet Union in 1987, and they'd never had a major rock concert before. There was a film crew filming a documentary, and they turned very bright lights on the audience. The audience was having a good time—until they turned the lights on. They froze; they turned paranoid. There was a lot of anxiety—why are we being looked at? And whenever they turned the lights on, anyone who was overreacting was being pulled out of the audience by a security guard. I wasn't yelling at the audience—I was yelling at the film crew. So I threw the piano, and that got their attention. Then they stopped lighting the audience, and everybody started rocking out. That was the reason for that action—not because they looked like an oil painting. That was something I said to a reporter after the big shots in the Communist Party, despite our best efforts, sat in the front row at one of the shows. They looked like an oil painting. The regular people in the back were rocking out. Hey, I hate the camera being on me. If you looked like me, you wouldn't want the camera on you either."

anyone who believes this was unusual or would only happen in soviet russia, has never been to a certified rock conert

The monument was built in 1954 on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the liberation by the Soviet Army, which is the general Russian interpretation of the complex military history of Bulgaria during World War II.

literally lifted from the article linked about the monument, even the invasion link goes on to talk about how the communist forces overthrew the government that were allied to the fucking nazis.

at least it mentions it's going to a museum instead of them destroying it I guess, sill very sad 🫗

I can't tell if this is a legitimate concern, but with this being so long ago, it feels to me that this would have been during the period where boyinaband was was doing some of their prolific colaborating, before all the context and drama came out, and from what I can see Jaiden's colab video only exists in reuploads (why do people do this)

I wouldn't hold it against them personally, boyinaband is also a decade older than Jaiden which makes it feel even slimier imo

I feel pretty similarly about Jaiden going to pewdipie's wedding or whatever

i'm really tapped out of youtube drama now though so I might be missing a lot of context

I completely understand that she's pretty tongue in cheek a lot of the time, but her delivery is so sincere that I always end up cringing at her content nowadays

fun seeing her do a dragking bit at least, I think I miss her old voice

examine your internalized transphobia before it examines you, or something

surely you're not suggesting Jaiden Animations has a bad bone in their entire body 😭
