They really do think “vaccines”, masks, social distancing and lockdowns will eradicate this virus, don’t they?

[captain_dave]

I don’t get my medical advice from actors or musicians

[wastedyears]

Priest is not at all thrash.

[RC one]

The entertainment industry has been crushed financially over the lockdowns. They want to tour again. that’s their job.

Looking at it one way, there's really nothing surprising about it. Once you read enough of this stuff, you begin to realize how interconnected many things >and people< are in popular culture, science, medicine, technology, the arts, media/entertainment, education, politics/government, military - everything in our world. There's a thread that runs through it all.

Actually, this makes perfect sense.

[a fool in paradise]

Johnny Rotten said vote for Trump and denounced the lockdowns.

[a fool in paradise]

Didn’t he get replaced in Judas Priest by a fan singer?

[crosdaddy]

I think that was Journey.

[a fool in paradise]

Well I knew about Jim Morrison’s dad

[ETCM]

I certainly won’t. I’m waiting for Johnny Rotten to tell me what to do.

The last time I followed Johnny Rotten's advice was when he said "Vote Trump"!

It gets really tiring hearing that same old worn out lie the left loves talking about how we all just wear masks, and get the vaccine, etc. Covid will completely disappear from the face of the earth. That’s not how any virus works it will mutate it will change and it will always exist in some form or another.

[matt04]

It’s really hard to keep up with these idiots. You have celebrities to get the vaccine and then we can go back to normal and enjoy our concerts and what not, then a day later you have Dr. Fauci and others came out and protect him and gloom and tell us how the vaccines won’t work and you still have to wear six masks for the rest of your life. Make up your minds.

[Flick Lives]

I guess a lot of aging rockers do know a lot about drugs.

[Mariner]

“And sounds like he may need to review the lyrics to electric eye.”

Agreed.

They are an exciting, high energy act.

[Phillyred]

I love Halford’s pipes...but he really likes getting jabbed. Sad these so called rebels are such conformists.

[T.B. Yoits]

Didn’t he [Rob Halford] get replaced in Judas Priest by a fan singer?

Yes. I may have the details wrong but someone mailed Judas Priest guitarists K.K. Downing and Glen Tipton a VHS tape of a cover band where Tim "Ripper" Owens (from Ohio I think) was singing Judas Priest's "The Ripper" (Rob Halford had previously left the band). Those who know the song also know that Rob Halford hits some very high notes in it.

The sender mailed to tape to Downing and Tipton because it sounded so spot on as though lip-synced. Downing and Tipton apparently traveled to Ohio to see the show and later signed Tim Owens. The movie "Rock Star" was somewhat based on the story.

[The MAGA-Deplorian]

Washed up rock star advising people to get a vaccine.....and yet has more clout and probably knows more about the virus then Fauci does........or he just wants fans getting shots so he can start making money touring again

[jmacusa]

Because I always listen to minimally talented washed up rock stars telling me what I should do, especially concerning matters of my health.

[A Navy Vet]

Okay.
