The Left always eat their own.

I don't know how anyone can stand on that side of the line when it's only a matter of time before they come for "you", too.

That said... drunk drivers can burn in Hell. I just can't help but note the irony of the situation, is all.

The funniest thing about cancel culture to me, is the light it shines on just how much we care about celebrities. Like, they are supposed to be our idols or something, so when they mess up, we get very upset and take everything away. They don't deserve the nice things and the adoration anymore. Except they never really did to the extent we've given it.

Three in the morning and I gotta be someplace,
I don't remember where...
Friends try to make me stay or call me a cab home...
I grab my keys and a beer!

Cops they took my license away...
Got my car out of impound today!
I've been drunk since last Saturday!
Better stay outta my way!

I drink and drive -
Feel so alive!
Never take a dive -
Feel so alive!
Doin' ninety-five -
I drink and drive!
I feel so alive!
I drink and drive!

Early morning and the freeway's deserted,
Like it's all mine...
I'm trying to set a new drunken speed record
But I can't drive a straight line!
Flashing lights,
Split the night...
I'm tossing bottles as I swerve to the right...
Now I've slammed my face into the back of a big-rig...
At least you'll never catch me you f*cking pigs!

Designate someone other than me!
I'm so drunk I can hardly see!
Another shot of Jaeger and I turn the key...
I got so many places to be!

I drink and drive -
Feel so alive!
Never take a dive -
Feel so alive!
I'm doin' ninety-five -
I drink and drive!
I feel so alive!
I drink and drive!

When I'm on a binge, my friends all cringe...
They won't drive at night...
'Cause way I tear up the freeway's such a fright...
But I think I drive alright!

The Superbowl ad was called "The Middle"?

Hey Bruce...don't write yourself off yet

The flip side of that same coin is why does anyone even care if a company removes an advertisement they paid for. Why is this the sort of stuff people even care about or bother to yell "canceled" at.

I stopped caring about celebrities long ago. If a commercial they were paid to be in is no longer seen or they get themselves in trouble and get a DUI... meh.

I don't know if a private company not wanting to use his music in a commercial is quite the same as being cancelled but he had to face some consequences for his DWI. If he hadn't I imagine right wing commentators would be quick to point rant how he gets a free pass because he's a liberal.

I'm a fan but he did do wrong and driving under the influence is a pretty big thing that endangers not just yourself but other people so he does deserve blow back but I'm not so hugely pious that I would hold it against him forever particularly as he's been in the public eye since the 80s and this is the first time he's been caught up in anything like this.

I don't get what the issue is. He did something wrong, company didn't like it, they have the right to not use you or your music or whatever. Wouldn't that just be the company's way of saying, "We do not approve of these actions or of this behavior"?

I really wish people wouldn't care so much about what companies choose to do with their advertisements, films, movies, etc. Why do people care so much anyway?

Because, for many people it smells of totalitarian and ideological control. And for a good reason.

I miss this band, and that album was so solid all the way through too. Solely because of your post I now want to comb through their entire catalog for the first time in years. And the era of that album was a great one for me - we were going to house parties all the time and going swing dancing on Wednesday's. So much fun and such gorgeous women... yeesh...
