Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.


Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.

No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.


7. No duplicate posts.


If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.


Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.


All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link.

I had never heard of Isaac Slade until a month or so ago. The Fray are currently touring and did a show near me, at Woodinville's Chateau Ste-Michelle Winery. As a venue, they're not getting arena-filling acts, but they're usually bands/artists who had several hits a few years back, and will appeal to a 40+ year-old audience. This year's lineup included Beck, Tori Amos, and Sarah McLachlan. The Fray was one of the weaker bands in the lineup, as evidenced by the number of emails I received telling me that tickets were still available.

Meanwhile, Isaac Slade happens to be somewhat local. Following The Fray's show, he put on his own rival show -- at the Kirkland Performance Center, a small community theater. I'm on their mailing list, because I took my daughter there to see the Amazing Bubble Man (a guy who blows bubbles -- to be fair, it is pretty cool).

Hopefully that provides context on where Isaac Slade is as a celebrity.

Not all gingers are evil, but Ed Sheeran didn't do the community any favours.

The ginger diaspora might never recover from this

Without souls in their possession will they feel anything?

[–] charokol@lemmy.zip 22 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I guess I can continue not ever listening to the Fray or knowing what any of their songs are

[–] Janx@piefed.social 12 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

I mean, it's your choice but he's a past member of The Fray. I can't imagine the band has anything to do with his current views...

[–] teawrecks@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 week ago

According to wikipedia, this guy was the lead vocalist for the entire time the Fray was relevant (2002–2022), so I assume anyone who did listen to them would strongly associate them with this guy.

But yeah, if anyone is just now finding out about them from their new material, this guy is irrelevant.

[–] Bristlecone@lemmy.world 21 points 1 week ago

Oh good, always thought this dide was a jackass too, so that's a great choice for genocide centrist sheeran, the bitch

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 17 points 1 week ago

The show must go on or he's sued for millions, right?

“That bonfire in the middle of the field that sees both sides, that understands that peace is not a lack of conflict. Peace is not a blank canvas that we need to guard and be polite. [Peace] holds enough beauty, enough tragedy, enough sorrow, enough joy and life if we learn how to integrate it and hold each other in balance. We will find a way through this together.”

What hell is this even meant to mean?!

True conflict free peace might just be impossible, wars in the middle east are nothing new, but putting your fingers in your ears screaming lalala over the sound of innocent people dying in a genocide is not peace dude.

It means ChatGPT isn’t good at word washing away an issue.

The Fray's first big hit single was "How to Save a Life", from their debut album of the same name.

Who’s going to this Israeli’s and MAGAts?

[–] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

Israelis is reductive. Zionists and MAGAts is more descriptive and accurate.
