I don't really understand why hokey conspiracy theories have expanded to mass shootings. It all seemed to gain steam around Sandy Hook.

Personally, I'm surprised there's not a mass shooting every day, considering the sheer size of the country and the amount of nutcase spit there.

Are we supposed to know who this person is?

She was and still is the female lead in the west coast punk band “X,” which was very influential in that musical scene in the 80’s and 90’s. If you weren’t into punk, you wouldn’t have heard of her. She’s always marched to her own drummer.

Not really. Here she is:

[cmsgop]

She is the lead singer of the band “X”

Do some research , I'm sure if you google
“Jon Doe” from “X” you will recognize him from many films...

Looks like she might have to leave Los Angeles.

Los Angeles

If I have to google her then she’s not really relevant.

[PAR35]

Looks like a young Helen Thomas.

Expense is entitled to her own opinion but not to “her own” facts.

Saw them perform that song in LA almost 35 years ago. Ray Manzarek played with them.

[SunkenCiv]

She’s hardly punk rock royalty, not least because punk rejects the very notion.

With the band X, they made a one-single nationwide splash over 30 years ago, and had a brief period before and after that as a local band in LA, with fans including such luminaries as Pee Wee Herman.

Years later they were heard again on the soundtrack of the first X-files movie, and this screed of hers kinda reads like some X-Files TV show episodes.

No artist want to be classified, but if I had too, I would say “Folk Rock”.

Punkabilly?

[RegulatorCountry]

Exene Cervenka and John Doe veered into what could somewhat be described as folk rock with their alt group “The Knitters,” but the below video was in heavy rotation in the very early days of MTV and clearly qualifies as punk, maybe tinged with rockabilly, but punk. Sound and video quality is not the greatest, it appears to be a video recording of the video on television.

X - “Hungry Wolf”
