By the way, Third Eye Blind’s first album is legitimately good. I don’t care what the haters say.

Ugh. So now I have respect for a pop candy band… (and tbh I’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 I’m the motherfucking artist up here,ā€ Jenkins told his audience.

Given the GOP’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? – I love it! Thanks, guys! Also, thanks for standing up for the LGBT community!!

I’d be pissed too, if they didn’t play ā€œSemi Charmed Life.ā€

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 didn’t play the song I like so they are dead to me. I’m a Trump supporter and a rational person.’ 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 it’ll be like the Dixie Chicks. I bought their album after the Iraq War protest and it was actually amazing. So amazing that I’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 don’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 don’t believe aren’t human.

The first (1997) single, ā€œSemi-Charmed Life,ā€ a song about a junkie’s love of oral sex and the drug crystalmeth was an unlikely pop charmer. ā€œI wrote the song about drugs and f—and I’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?.. There’d be Christian music?

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