I had to look him up to. he was a guitarist that played with David Bowie years ago. He opened a Vegan restaurant.
He doesn't look right in the head to me.

He said the social media platform had become a "cesspool of racism, anti-semitism, disinformation, and dimwitted alt-right hate"
Moby has quit Twitter in protest of Elon Musk.
The musician sent his last tweet on Tuesday (November 29) before he exited the social media platform.
He wrote: “This will be my last tweet. Last night @elonmusk posted an alt-right anti-Semitic meme, a fake @cnn story, and an image of guns on his bedside table. @Twitter has become a cesspool of racism, anti-semitism, disinformation, and dimwitted alt-right hate, and it’s time to leave.”
His exit came on the same day actor Jim Carrey also quit Twitter with a message alongside an animated video version of one of his own paintings.
“I’m leaving Twitter, but 1st here’s a cartoon I made with my friend Jimmy Hayward,” Carrey began in a tweet.
“It’s based on my painting of a crazy old Lighthouse Keeper, standing naked in a storm, summoning the angels and shining his lamp to guide us through a treacherous night. I love you all so much!”
The video sees the lighthouse keeper in question singing a folk song about the thunderstorm he’s caught in, singing of “angels [who] fill this place with light“.
Dozens of public figures have left Twitter in recent weeks including Kathy Burke, Stephen Fry, The Strokes’ Julian Casablancas, comedy band SpitLip and, most recently, Jack White and Trent Reznor. Many of them have cited the decisions of Elon Musk, who took over ownership of the platform last month, as their reason for leaving.
Musk has also been vocal about his belief in promoting free speech on Twitter. Earlier this week (November 28), he called out Apple for ceasing advertising on the platform, asking: “Do they hate free speech in America?”
He has claimed that hate speech has declined on the website following his takeover in October.
It had previously been reported that the use of antisemitic, homophobic, racist and transphobic language had spiked after Musk became head of Twitter.
However, sharing slides from a recent company talk, Musk has claimed that “hate speech impressions are lower” according to internal sources.
Despite firing several top executives immediately after taking over Twitter and laying off thousands of employees in the weeks since, Musk has also confirmed that Twitter is hiring.
Last week, Musk allegedly told the remaining Twitter staff that they must “work long hours at high intensity” or leave the company.
His real name is Richard, if that gives you a clue.
He’s allegedly the great-great-great nephew of Herman Melville, author of Moby Dick.
James Woods is back to his old self.
Don’t tell us you’re going, just go.
Was he previously with Moby Grape?
Guess not.
“I thought it was Moby Grape, but I’m really out of touch.”
So did I.
We showing our ages or what?
Another last tweet?
He still hasn’t left, yet?
Moby is a name familiar to Herman Melville and Friedrich Dürrenmatt fans.
Stephen Fry is a lefty, but I figured he would be more tolerant of free speech. Guess not.
He never played guitar for David Bowie. He may be able to play guitar, but his career is more on dials, knobs, and keyboards.
Vaguely heard OF him. Never heard or will hear him. Screw him.
I took a Moby one time.
For example, this video with the adorable space aliens: In This World
Thank you for the correction then. I only looked up and heard what he said... which is kind of pointless. Most of all I don’t care ha
G’bye fagggot, bald head stooge.
That's just what we're dealing with here.
The only hope that at least some of these "deeply indoctrinated" people emerge from their trance is if forums like Twitter and news sources like CNN and MSN begin to admit free speech.
As we have noticed here at FR, even CNN (here and here) has begun to move away from pure Woke by changing their course ever so slightly in the general direction of corporate responsibility/profitability by recently firing some of their most Woke "newscasters."
There is reason to hope but, frankly, not much. We'll have to wait and see. As I have said elsewhere, we're into unexplored territory.
