Sorry, I need a moment. A new player showed up at the open mic I host on Tuesday nights and absolutely blew my mind - brilliant playing and singing, really creative composition and guitar parts, just a totally natural and compelling performance.
So today I find him online and discover he’s a bigoted right-wing conspiracy theorist with a bug up his rear about “lgbtq+ recruitment.”Just. UGH. Thanks, world, I hate it.
Now to try to somehow transmute this kick in the face into something positive.
