    John did his time and just wants to make art and music. He lives close by to me and keeps getting booked and then cancelled at local venues. It’s lame.

      Are we gonna gloss over the fact that he blamed Cancel Culture.

      I don’t think this guy knows what Cancel Culture is.

        he almost saved America

        It would have been entirely accidentally, though.

        He didn’t shoot Reagan for being Reagan, he shot him because he wanted to impress Jodie Foster after developing an obsession with her (who’d been twelve when filming and was eighteen at the time of the attempt on Reagan’s life) after watching Taxi Driver about fifteen times.

          Oh I know why he did it, just saying he could’ve been seen as a hero instead of a crazy person.
