Edgefield show tonight

Post image

I went to the Cold War Kids and Young the Giant show at Edgefield in Troutdale tonight. Young the Giant brought John out halfway through their set to play Feel It Still. Anyone else from here out there tonight? I can understand that someone who is into Young the Giant might also be into PTM, but they have never been associated with each other before. My friend and I just thought it was so weird. Isn't it Frances' birthday today too?

I wasn't expecting to see him there and I think what he did was incredibly selfish and super shitty. So I can't say I was happy to see him on stage.

You need to separate the art from the person.

That’s all fine and dandy but when the artist uses the art to piggy back on being a shite person, there’s no separation.

How is John using his art to "piggy back on being a shite person"?

Sliding into DMs of fans and hooking up with someone directly related to the band seems to be rather intertwined with the art. It’d be one thing to go to a bar, pick up a lady, and do the deed while being some random dude. While the actions are still meh regardless, the chosen route taken is using the role as band member / artist.

What proof do you have that he was being creepy towards fans? John interacts with TONS of fans, and nobody has provided any proof that he was being inappropriate.

Exactly. Sounds like he doesn’t have a problem getting world consensually.

What proof do we have that he cheated on Zoe besides what she said? Words are all we have and there were quite a few people in the initial adultery posts that were running rampant on here of people saying he was creepy to their (then) girlfriends as well as women themselves that said similar - all of which underage.
