        When I first heard Thom say they would still play in Israel I was incredibly disappointed. I’ve loved their music for over two decades now but haven’t been able to listen to them since I heard about their stance on Israel.

      What’s even more ridiculous is they were ostensibly anti Imperialist back in the day, at least anti establishment. Their Zionism is a disgrace and a stain on their legacy.

        Lots of people are anti-imperialist for everything but Israel. It’s so bizarre. I guess that’s what high quality propaganda can do for you.

        Thom Yorke has always been woke in the way that Sting or Sean Penn are woke i.e. not at all really lol. I think also there is some personal love for Israel because that’s where they first started getting big radio play 🤷

      Don’t really have a strong opinion about Radiohead’s music but I do think it’s healthy to separate the art from the artist.

      Take Kanye, awful person, but you just have to respect Heil Hitler. You just have to, I’m sorry, what a masterpiece.

          No, jk of course not lol i got derailed. I definitely think it’s healthy to separate the art from the artist but I hate Kanye and think his music is often overrated.

              Christ, Imagine if I died on the hill over Heil Hitler being a masterpiece lmao

              You just have to respect it dude, the symphony of those drums and synthesized vocals, combined with such intensely evocative words makes for a song that has truly shifted the paradigm in the RnB genre. Kanye fans be like

                  Just one song on the new album, which I believe is titled Cuck and also features a song about

                  CW: CSA

                  his incestuous relationship with his older male cousin

      If you had access to that kind of time and resource, I’m sure you or I could be in a band just as good.

      anyway, thoms a creep, thoms a weirdo, it’s been said

    I wasn’t going to see them anyway. I imagine tickets are expensive and I’m just not a fan. Easy boycott
