He should fucking actually apologize maybe… instead of this bullshit. Note what he did above, according to @zoidberg… Maybe apoloigize directly to the women involved in that shit. He’s not entitled to be forgiven. People, especially those who he directly hurt by his actions, get to feel how they feel about what he did.
He was basically using the language that tons of other people had been using throughout the 1980s to talk about the music industry, but since he was getting famous at the time because of his work with the higher profile alternative bands, he got the credit for it. Nothing he said there was new, he just got a larger platform from the Baffler to say it… Black artists had been making this argument for literally decades prior to punk, too.
