Why are the mods allowing this sub to be taken over by posts about what Hillary Clinton said about what Elon Musk said about what Taylor Swift said about Kamala Harris?

These are political posts. They are not discussing Taylor Swift's music, they are discussing the US election and culture-war. Rule 12 states "Submissions must be explicitly related to music, music technology, or the music industry. Statements and actions by musicians not relevant to their musical work are not allowed."

Taylor Swift's statements about Kamala Harris, and Elon Musk's statements about Taylor Swift, and Hillary Clinton's statements about Elon Musk, and Elon Musk's daughter's statements about Elon Musk, are not relevant to Taylor Swift's musical work.

discussion Perry hasn't changed in 35 years

With all the Janes Addiction drama going on this week, it reminded me of an article several years ago on a local music venue in Birmingham, Al, The Nick.

They played their first show there in Alabama February 10,1989 and apparently he had meltdown there. Here's the section of article talking about it.

Los Angeles band Jane’s Addiction’s show at The Nick, which took place Feb. 10, 1989 according to setlist.fm, is one of the venue’s most famous gigs. And most infamous. Jack Massey, then drummer with The Hitchcocks, a young Tuscaloosa band influenced by Husker Du and The Replacements, was at the Jane’s show. After a long wait following the support act’s set, Massey recalls once Jane’s Addiction unleashed their punkish art-metal “the place was swaying back and forth, it felt like.”

Unfortunately, dreadlocked Jane’s singer Perry Farrell “started dogging Birmingham,” Massey says, “telling people from the stage, ‘You should move from this stupid town. I can’t even find heroin here.’” After some boos from the crowd the band rocked-on, but ended their set after only about 30 minutes. Once they walked out The Nick’s side stage-door, Jane’s Addiction was gone for good. No encore.
