How do you feel?

Post by bcolephases »

About 311 band members getting involved with politics? Pnut is going on a fb rampage right now about that leaked Trump audio.

I hate it and am happy to say I haven't been subjected to it. 2004 sucked. Nick did that lil rock for Kerry thing. Kind of ironic

"Your denomination
Should be a private thing
How about a spirit
For all human beings"


I always substituted "denomination" for "political affiliation" and this election is worse yet. I know people who are hard-nosed left and others that are hard-nosed right and both groups wont' even talk about this election. Just a clusterfuck.

Agreed. It has basically become a pissing match at this point.

Totally forgot about the Hexum Bros tour for John Kerry. I used to really be into that song "Go Straight to Hell Bush" that they did.

A decade later the whole Bush thing seems so silly and benign compared to this, and the urgency of a tour to support Kerry feels inconsequential and corny.

As far as p-nut posting about the leaked audio, good for him - his account, his views. He's not giving interviews on behalf of 311 and their political opinions. Sure he might alienate a few alt-right fans via his personal account by passing on anti Trump stuff, but fuck 'em. Not like the political views of the individual band members in terms of this election would come as a surprise anyway.

Though come to think of it, the band probably already alienated a lot of would-be Trump supporters when SA pissed off all the oil worker fans that one time

without a doubt, pnut is the most liberal one that keeps the band from doing certain things. Can't get into specifics but have heard it first hand

Can you give an example? I agree that pnut is totally liberal in his views but I always thought Nick was the most outspoken about it, considering the rock for Kerry tour and Liberal Hexum.

no specific examples, no. pretty sure even nick has reeled in his liberal views quite a bit by comparison.

Sometimes I wonder how liberal they can be now that they have kids, and when I say liberal I mainly mean their stance on legalization. What are they going to say when their kids are looking for a role model and they watch etsd and etsd 2? Will they redact their viewpoints then and there? Just a thought. Not for or against anything they did/do.

At the rate things are progressing, weed will probably be legal by the time any of their kids are teens. If they are good parents they will instill a sense of self-respect and moderation whether with weed, alcohol, or anything else. Honestly this is a thing that will need to be addressed directly with this coming generation on a larger scale, whether they are the kids of musicians who have band t-shirts with marijuana leaves on them or not. Gotta tread the line between letting them know that weed isn't evil but that you also shouldn't try to obtain it before your brain is fully developed.

Not that great. Could be worse though, like maybe Arizona.
