Carlos Santana faced criticism on Thursday when a video of the musician making anti-transgender comments during a concert in New Jersey in July resurfaced on social media.
“When God made you and me, before we came out of the womb, you know who you are and what you are,” the guitarist is seen saying in the clip.
He continued, “Later on when you grow up, and you see things and you start believing that you could be something that sounds good but you know it ain’t right, because a woman is a woman and a man is a man — that’s it.”
I don’t mind the talking, it’s the military worship or other nonsense that bothers me. If they want to talk about a topic that means something to them, it can be okay so long as they don’t go overboard with it.
We saw mudvayne a few weeks ago and Chad talked about metal being an outlet for him and probably saving his life more than a few times. That’s fine, I also wouldn’t have been bothered by him suggesting people seek professional help or just someone else to talk to when they are feeling off, etc.
We saw The Offspring with Simple Plan and Sum41 last weekend and no extraneous talking happened. They did pull some new bullshit with kiss cams, booty cams, etc like it was a sporting event and that turned us off, we have seen The Offspring twice before that and they didn’t have any of the extraneous bullshit.
Oh and to be clear, not caring doesn’t mean it really really bothers me when stupid shit get said. It means that I don’t go ree when someone has what could be a slipup and says something that could possibly be taken out of context.
