Following up on this article post…

The remaining members of Mac Saturn announced Monday that due to the scandal, they have decided to cancel the rest of their 35-date trek.

Then they donated plan to donate a bunch of cash to the Joyful Heart Foundation, Mariska Hartigay’s org for victims of all types of abuse.

Obligatory social-media link blah blah blah

Then, the tour’s opening act bails. More blah blah blah

Then the replacement opener bails. No tweet link for you!

Toxic stuff, having an alleged child pornography…uhmm…enthusiast?…user?…consumer?…what is the proper title here? Tough having associations with someone who has been accused of repeatedly masturbating to kiddie porn.

Musings…

• The “authorities” better find Evan Mercer guilty of the crime he’s accused of, because even though he’s innocent until proven guilty, he is branded either way…although the evidence volunteered by his ex girlfriend is pretty damning.
• Why exactly is Mac Saturn abandoning their tour? Were they “forced” to abandon, e.g., venues were cancelling them? If that’s not the case, I don’t know if I’d share that tactic: to distance myself from this alleged heinous crime, I think I’d go ahead with the tour. I mean, the entire band wasn’t complicit, was it?
  • I’m not intimating anything. Everybody’s weird, just in different degrees of toxicity. Associates that have worked together for years don’t necessarily know what goes on with the other colleague after they leave the office. Husbands and wives don’t always know what’s going on with their partner. Musicians are already strange particular, go figure if a drummer knows what a bassist is doing after practice or a show!
• I still say they should have picked a different album title.
