Time to cancel David Byrne...

Lighter fluid + match meet "Remain in Light"

Sledgehammer meet "More Songs About Building and Food"

Side-kick to the head meet "Speaking in Tongues"

Sorry, them's the rules, folks.

everyone knows david byrne is on autism spectrum and is a bit of a self-absorbed tyrant, but in the nicest way! hahahahha

When someone writes a well-spoken apology about a one-off incident from 1984 - which, lest I remind you, was thirty-six years ago - it's probably not worth being cancelled over.

And it's not like being cancelled ruins careers.

I'm sorry, but when a man who admits to masturbating in front of female colleagues can still sell out theatres, it's hard to take it seriously.

[!@#$%!]

Louis CK's past drama for the last reply.

You disingenuous bellend. Are you honestly trying to argue that a self-admitted sexual offender and deserved victim of the #metoo movement (which, as you've often pointed out, tends to skew left) will be uncancelled based on being anti-Trump? Damn, your conservative persecution complex is really strong.

Hey, let's keep the mood of the discussion insult-free, shall we, Claire?

His apology seems sincere and it looks like he's gotten the gist of exactly why it was wrong. All I see is a musician owning up to something he did ages ago. No sensational news here. No mob. Just someone jumping at every opportunity to parade their skewed world view about a supposed monolithic, context-free cancel culture and whatnot.


And all I find when I google news about David Byrne are reports about his apology. There's absolutely no indication that there's been a huge push to cancel him. The only ones mentioning that seem to be commenters on a youtube video of the promo interview itself lamenting the supposed "cancel culture". Arguing about conjured up phantoms here, if you ask me.


My two cents: It was wrong and cringey, but he owned up to it. If he still thought it'd be a good idea, it'd be a different story. Also: Amazing how this somehow turned into a rant on BLM. The lengths some people will go to cram in their few specific talking points everywhere. If it wasn't so sad, it'd almost be comical.

Look no further than the treatment of Kavanaugh/Blasey-Ford vs Biden/Reade for supporting evidence. #MeToo was once of upmost importance. Until it wasn’t.

Biden is more of a creep than Louie ever was.

[Rob Instigator]

when did Biden force his masturbation on co-workers? Grow up.

[Dr. Eugene Felikson]

Biden has a history of crazy accusations against him
