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.

According to some bio books, Lucille Ball also posed nude early in her career for the money. I can believe it, as she seemed laser focused on being in show business and willing to do whatever it took to pay the rent during that time.
She made most of her money from Star Trek (Desilu Productions), IIRC.
She was a tough businesswoman and did not suffer fools.
I am still curious as to the context of Rogan using the N word that dare not be named. Was he quoting someone, like a rapper? Were they discussing the N word that dare not be named and he used the actual word?
Even back in the day, I never looked down on women that posed nude for magazines. You do what you have to do to get the bills paid. Better than getting knocked up and going on welfare.
I pretty much looked at the boobs.
Q. What the difference between a guitarist and a large pizza?
A. A large pizza can feed a family of four.
I thought Madonna was a blasphemous tramp.
the death of the apology is a giant step towards unravelling western civilization
Ouch!
I am a wannabe bass player.....
“Drummers are musicians? Who knew?”
I heard that ‘Spinal Tap” is looking for one . . .
You missed the part where I later said the drummer and bass players keep the whole thing together.
Without them, it would be total chaos.
Without the beat, what would music be?
:)
That was impressive, though I could have done without all the snot. Something tells me Fauxi would not have approved.
Seven don’t care about no snot.
Now I see what you’re talking about.
No idea how they did a cutaway but it’s bottled water, not snot.
By the time he’s done, everyone is drenched.
S’Not Snot is a good name for a punk band.
I’m sure people can pull up things I posted here years ago that might not make me look that good.
***I’m the main admin at www.scottadamsfans.com and some of the libtards there doxxed me from here on FR. They posted stuff from years & years ago that they thought was so utterly scandalous but I stood my ground and didn’t budge an inch. It drove them crazy.
As long as you know why you have an opinion, you will always be able to defend it.
That is good! The libtards don’t really have a response if you stand your ground on what you said or did in the past. They are hoping to get you to grovel or overexplain why you might have said or done something in the past, which only gets you deeper into the quicksand.
See my tag line.
From what I understand Rogan said the N-word like you said, discussed it’s use in rap music and sports by black people.
