I never heard of Mumford and Sons.

A good English acoustic band that was enormously popular a couple of years ago. They've faded recently. Here's a good one of theirs:

Antifa are a bunch of Nancy-boys ruled by angst-filled women with deranged notions of something they made up called “social justice”. Nothing will ever satisfy or quell them. Nothing. At some point we will have to cull that herd.

It’s not just that Antifa is violent and willing to threaten physical harm. Antifa is protected by the Deep State.

They can harm YOU, and Democrat prosecutors will release them without charges.

But if YOU harm one of THEM, then expect to be involved in a legal nightmare, as Kyle Rittenhouse has seen.

Caving should be a new Olympic sport.

(Not the spelunking kind of caving.)

Pretty broad brush there buddy. Me and quite a few of my musical pals are FAR from a bunch of lib dipshits.

“So now he’s PO’d the other half of the fan base. What is wrong with these assclowns? Do they not have any orginal thoughts that they stand by? “

That sums it up well.

Either

- just “shut up and play yer guitar” and don’t do politics as a musician (my preference actually) or

- if you are going to promote politics as a musician then at least have a well thought out position and then stick to your guns.

One of the two.

Mumford & Sons banjoist

A question you will never here from musicians:

"Is that the banjo player's new Porsche?"

I enjoyed everything on Sigh No More and Babel. Then their sound changed and I lost interest. Ghosts That We Knew is probably my favorite song.

It’s a shame he backtracked and bowed to the woke crowd.

Sounds to me like it was his band mates that pressured him to recant.

Well, there was one Banjo guy I liked:

He was an icon at Niner's and A's games for decades (and likely still is).

The Niner's paid his way to the Super Bowl, which was a nice touch.

Mumford and Sons, a pale copy of some 70s’-80s stuff...

Be that as it may, now that the left is going after forgotten cartoon characters of almost 100 years ago, I guess everybody is feeling the heat.

Somebody put this guy’s name on a cubby and make sure his juice box and crackers don’t spill on his blanky.

if the applies to the overwhelming majority say 75%-80% it is a correct interpretation.

We should write their name as

AntiFA (anti First Amendment)

Including the words in the parentheses until its true meaning is realized. Why do we conservatives allow the left to popularize names that have the opposite meaning from their actions?
