Moment of reckoning for ‘Mr Nice Guy’ of music, who embraced Macklemore’s political cred only for pro-Palestine rapper to be dropped under pressure from billionaire
It is for most people. But it’s also 100% reasonable to say his position is more complicated. Let’s say Ed Sheeran goes out there with a Palestinian flag. Venues would overwhelmingly pull their location for the tour, doing so would likely violate contracts, the tour would ultimately be cancelled, and who knows how many people just lost the income they were depending on. He did not handle the situation correctly, but calling it simple is absurd. This was also all expressed in the article.
Of course Ed Sheeran is fine. He never has to work a day in his life if he didn’t want to. I was talking about all the other jobs being provided to regular people that would lose some of their income. You cannot deny the actions of these celebrities influences the livelihood of those workong for them, and those that would work at events for them
I doubt his roadies will have to look hard for new work if they want it. He’s not exactly a small name to have worked for. Yeah its unfortunate but also maybe don’t align with a jackass and expect everything to go well for you.
Venues remain open no matter if fat ginger bitch plays them or not, they host shows and events all the same. Minus one flaccid cockstain isn’t going to be anything more or less than an unexpected night off for venue workers. Maybe they love it, maybe they could have used the hours, life goes on all the same. He isn’t nearly as big an economic force as, I dunno, Jeff Bezos.
Writers strikes are far more difficult for regular people than canceling one ugly pussy bitch.

Ed Sheeran’s fat ass ain’t goin’ hungry because he missed a tour. And if he does starve to death, then good riddance to that level of utterly stupid.
Humanity - or lack thereof in this case - is quite black and white.

All the backup musicians also pulled out in solidarity with Macklemore, including Sheeran’s band. They all had a lot more to lose than Sheeran did
