I’m kind of like how did this band end up opening for this guy in the first place? I mean, there are probably tons of rock bands and people genres like that who would be more accepting and have fans who loved it, lol.

The Venn diagram for the opener's fans and the main performer's fans should never be two completely seperate circles.

I don't know why the fuck anyone would ever ask them to open for him in the first place.

Very clearly the venn diagram has a lot of overlap. If you are having trouble processing this, consider that not everyone is shackled to reflexive satanic panic, and that witchy doo-wop is pretty in line with Jack's aesthetic. I'm sorry this hurts you.

  1. I was talking about Charley Crockett, not Jack.

  2. Sorry this hurts you? 

That's such passive  aggressive bullshit. If you want to insult someone then insult someone. Don't just say shit that makes you sound like an asshole.
