RULE # 6 "Never apologize. It's a sign of weakness".

In today’s social and political environment, unless you’ve done or thought something for which you are genuine sorry, don’t apologize.
Back in the mid-80s, when Madonna exploded onto the music scene, I despised her. I was a serious musician back then, playing drums professionally (something I did from my teens until my early 30s). However, I’ve never forgotten how Madonna handled the fact that, in 1985, photos surfaced revealed that, when Madonna was 19 years old and first came to NYC, she posed for Penthouse.
When those photos were leaked, Madonna’s reaction was pretty much (and I’m paraphrasing here, not quoting), “Yeah, I did that. I needed the money. The end.” The scandal disappeared in two days. Although I am back to not liking Madonna again because of her pink pussy hat, blowing up the White House thing, the 1985 Madonna had it right.
If I see one more hostage video of someone offering up a sniveling, groveling apology for something he said or did years ago that was taken out of context, I am going to vomit. The latest was Joe Rogan.
Now hear this Mr. Rogan and everyone else. Stop apologizing. The Marxists don’t want your apology; they want you gone. If you don’t play into this stupid game. they will move on. If everyone takes the 1985 Madonna attitude, cancel culture will be canceled.
This episode isn’t about what Rogan said; this is about Rogan having millions of subscribers, while the legacy media has no ratings. Since the legacy media is the propaganda arm of the Marxist party, they can’t have that—especially if Rogan has people on his show who don’t agree with Pravda/CCP approved narrative. That’s what this is all about.

No.
You’re thinking of the bass player.
I attended a concert at the Kennedy Center where the grand piano was played by striking the exposed strings with a window squeegee.
It was bad, really really bad
They both keep the whole mess cohesive.
Without them, there’s no order.
People are afraid their liberal friends won’t like them anymore, they’ll be left out and people will whisper evils behind their back. Social media has made independent thinking virtually disappear among so many people who now have no sense of self without the opinion of the mob. Unplug from social media and get your life back.
I just heard about this on Missourinet.
Something is wrong with this court...
Jesse Kelly
She also crazy, and not anyone to be used as a role model for those seeking conscience.
Q: What do you call a guy who hangs out with three musicians?
A: A drummer.
RULE # 6 "Never apologize. It's a sign of weakness".
Early on, I thought this whole woke junk was a 21st century Cultural Revolution. That too included ferocious accusations, cancel culture, and public apologies.
It was BS in China 60 years ago. It’s BS now.
It is revolution, Black Revolution
He’s had Alex Jones on many times.
Never.. EVER apologize to the left. That, more than anything else, is see as an abject sign of weakness. Stand in their faces and make your case, and tell them to f*ck off if needed. NEVER give them the upper hand!
Take this forum for instance. I've been posting here for nearly a quarter of a century. I'm sure people can pull up things I posted here years ago that might not make me look that good. I don't care. I don't apologize for any of it.
Exactly, just say “It’s too bad”.
Trump was asked that question and said he never had anything to apologize for.
what do you call a guy who hangs out with musicians?
a drummer.
They are the drivers of the musical bus so to speak. They hold the keys and it’s their foot on the gas pedal. Without them you’re not going very far. ( Same goes for the tuba in symphonic groups)
I say this as a reformed trumpeter. Back in the day I thought it was the one who carried the melody that counted the most...I’ve learned since then while sitting on the other side (as an audience member)
Now this is an appropriate apology. Not coerced..driven by experience.
