Reply to comment by DC8008008 in Anthem refusing to refund Arcade Fire tickets by porterpilsner

and the weird thing about it is that his ex?-wife is in the band. All the shit he did, was while he was married to a band member. And they are still together, touring and doing their thing.

Which kinda makes me think maybe what he did wasn't that bad (I really haven't looked into it). She seems OK with it, who am I to judge. (i probably should look into it).

What I hate about this is that we have no idea what he did or did not do. Allegations are allegations and sometimes what looks like truth to one person looks like something else to somebody else. Do I think people should be called out for crap? Sure. But I'm also really uncomfortable when people automatically believe just one side of the story.

The real thing here is that Beck was essentially the headliner. Arcade Fire would open for Beck not the other way around. Come on - you ever seen Beck in concert? Insane. Although, was a scientologist. So if we're going to make judgments about what people do and whether or not to see them in concert that should be part of the equation too, no?

Beck was explicitly the opener and was playing a limited acoustic set. You're profoundly wrong about how the tour was billed.

We have accounts from 4 accusers and a response from Butler on all counts. If truth is somewhere in the middle, even then Butler is a predatory creep.

"We have no idea" fuck all the way off

Dude settle the fuck down. I MEANT Beck was "essentially" the headliner cause he's so much better, esp live. I don't blame anyone for getting tickets to this just to see Beck - /that/ was my point.
