That's so disappointing of Michelle Shocked.
Concur. I like what I know of her music, and I always thought she was cooler than that.
I'm going to see to Wesley, see if he's still whimpering.

Because books.
Today has been disheartening on a lot of levels.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
The thing that gets me about examples like Michelle Shocked is that she got her own self into this mess. It wasn't like she was responding to an emerging situation. No one asked her to yell out homophobic remarks, unprompted, at a concert.
Will we soon hear about a rehab visit, I wonder?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
ita, last Monday's Yo Is This Racist podcast is about yams vs. sweet potatoes, so I thought of you immediately. For what that's worth?

Michelle Shocked's show in Evanston was canceled thanks to her rant in S.F.

I'm unpleasantly surprised that Michelle Shocked went off on a homophobic rant at all. Doing so in a traditionally LGBT-friendly city adds a shovel full of stupid to the bigotry. If it had to happen at all, I wish it had been someone whose music I liked less.

Finding God was how she got sober.

I don't think it was stupid; I think it was willful and purposeful. She used to live in SF.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
From people who were there:
“In retrospect seemed clear that she designed the show to deliver this message,” tweeted Penfield’s wife, Christine.
