By the way, Third Eye Blindā€™s first album is legitimately good. I donā€™t care what the haters say.

Ugh. So now I have respect for a pop candy bandā€¦ (and tbh Iā€™ve always secretly rocked out a little to them in my head). This truly is the hell freezes over election.

ā€œYou can boo all you want, but Iā€™m the motherfucking artist up here,ā€ Jenkins told his audience.

Given the GOPā€™s desire to do away with political correctness, I must assume they wholeheartedly embrace these comments.

LOL!! Yay!! Makes me like Third Eye Blind that much more. I have fond memories from my youth, bar-hopping and seeing these guys up on screen, people dancing or watching the videos. Cool band.

Who here believes in science? ā€“ I love it! Thanks, guys! Also, thanks for standing up for the LGBT community!!

Ted Nugent was scheduled to play but a Girl Scout troop asked for autographs and to see the inside of his tour bus.

ā€˜They didnā€™t play the song I like so they are dead to me. Iā€™m a Trump supporter and a rational person.ā€™ Cognitive dissonance?

If you experience any emotional high or low specifically tied to your attendance of a Third Eye Blind concert you need to go someplace quiet and reflect on which fork in the road you navigated so erroneously.

Goddamnit. I never liked them and now I have to buy an album off of principle.

Maybe itā€™ll be like the Dixie Chicks. I bought their album after the Iraq War protest and it was actually amazing. So amazing that Iā€™d go see them in concert.

Donald Trump rails against ā€œpolitical correctnessā€ and says people should be able to talk freely and ā€œtell it like it is.ā€ Would seem the Repubs donā€™t really believe that when opinions are expressed contrary to their narrow, bigoted views. So much for principles!

True believers have to believe people who donā€™t believe arenā€™t human.

The first (1997) single, ā€œSemi-Charmed Life,ā€ a song about a junkieā€™s love of oral sex and the drug crystalmeth was an unlikely pop charmer. ā€œI wrote the song about drugs and fā€”and Iā€™m pretty much clean living on the road,ā€ said Jenkins (from Encyclopedia.com)

Yes. Sex and drugs sounds like a winning religious right GOP formula. What did these GOP assholes think?.. Thereā€™d be Christian music?

No doubt. That would be like Everclear not playing ā€œSanta Monica.ā€ Or No Doubt not playing ā€œDonā€™t Speak.ā€
