The thing about Rogan..he seems to still be a scared little boy who's over compensating. I'll take it that he's a "comedian" but when there are people like my brother who take him serious, it's a new ballgame. Lydia in the first round...TKO

Stix has something to say. After the party has started and damned near finished. Good for you, bud. But here's the thing, your love for Rogan's nuts notwithstanding, to paraphrase Robert Mitchum, I just don't care. I still find the hostility in your angle of attack, so Internet-agey, curious. Getting this exercised over something I've said and thought enough to commit to commenting on it with ad hominem attacks? Jesus Christ...what the fuck is wrong with you?!? hahaha...ok. Well I'm due back on Planet Earth. Hope the rest of your day goes well.

Current year is awesome. We are divided up into piles of right people and wrong people.

This is great! There's a type of insecure celebrity that can always be counted on to punch down because in their damaged little hearts they believe they're punching up.

Boy, this did not age well. Also, do some research (journalism still calls for that, right?). Joe doesn't make $130 million a year. That was a speculative number on what Spotify paid to host his podcast in exclusivity, for 5 (might be four) years.

Lydia Lunch decided to tell a comedian what he can and cannot talk about on stage. She got put in her place for it. Then she carries on trying to belittle Joe by touching his face. Who or what gives her the right to enter someone's personal space like that, especially without consent.

I'm a huge Steve Albini fan. He has produced some of the best rock records ever made. But, he should 100% stay in his lane. By now, it's pretty obvious when looking at the data that was hidden from the public that Covid never was the world-ending-virus that was sold to us. Pity that Albini decides that he buys into what is being sold to him full force, and seemingly you too, Eugene. That's not very "punk rock".

You accuse a man of being insecure, when this whole article was just you showing how insecure you are. You wrote this, most likely, because you wanted a nice little piece of clickbait for your Substack. How did that work out for you? How well did this piece age, based on what we know now?

I kept waiting for the article to tie into the title. It doesn’t . Except for the fact that it at one point repeats the title in the body.

I don’t know about anything from nothing, but yeah… thank you punk rock for that!
