I am absolutely DISGUSTED by the comments being thrown around here by so—called adults.
I have a 14 year old daughter who is a fan and I hear plenty from her about the hate thrown and this young man and I try explaining to her it is to be expected from kids.
She’s a regular FR reader and I am thankful she isn’t home this afternoon to this absolutely disgusting display of immaturity being displayed by members of a group she has grown to respect.
I happen to like the young man’s ethic when it comes to various things and actually enjoy his music - I am thoroughly ashamed to be associated with the majority of those who have posted on this thread.
Nobody is being hateful, they’re making jokes. If you are so disgusted...leave.
Lighten up. I made a joke about his music, not him personally.
He’s as qu**r as a 3 dollar bill and thus a poor mentor for our ‘ut.
Well, if your daughter is 14 and already spending time on Free Republic, she's probably mature enough to transit her teeny-bopper phase and start listening to some real music.
Seriously, adults have been making fun of teeny-boppers since the 1950s. When I was growing up, my sister had the likes of Leif Garrett and Shaun Cassidy pinned up on her bedroom wall. I gave her lots of grief but she got over it.
I recommend your daughter download something by The Fleet Foxes or Wilco. Time to move on.
