The Reverends Rant
AMERICA HATERS
What the fuck is up with this quote? "After September 11th I was never more proud to be an American. After going to New Orleans and seeing the devastation and abandonment of that great city by its own Federal Government I was never more ashamed to be an American." Know what? Fuck you! I'm all for freedom of speech. But to claim that you are "ashamed to be an American", well - carry your ass then. You, my friend, are a millionaire and you can go and/or live anywhere you want. You also could donate a boatload of money to the relief agencies or if you don't think that money goes where it should, you can go down there and pick who you want to help with your fat wallet. Also, this guy has been offended that President Bush would tell someone "Go down there and tell them I said to knock that shit off". Know what else? Fuck you again. If the Prez can't tell somebody to knock it off, then who can? These statements kill me because they get worse. To top it all off, they are coming from a person who until this day was considered pretty cool in my book. So, even though I've said it before, this time it is for a completely different and valid reason: HEY BLACKIE! FUCK YOU AND SHUT UP!
ACCUSATIONS AND BULLSHIT
What is up with some people? They want to accuse you of things when they have nothing to back up their accusations and then they want to argue with you about it. I am VERY busy every day, so when someone calls and asks a question about something that I have no clue about, I don't have time for that shit. "Blah, blah, blah, whine bitch and moan" "What? I don't know what you are talking about" "Bitch, bitch, complain, accuse, whine, moan and yell" "Click". If I tell you that I do not know what you are talking about, THAT SHOULD BE IT. Some of these people want me to explain why I don't know what they are speaking about. ????? How the fuck am I suppossed to know details about something that I have no clue has happened? Where do these people get this stuff? If I read some of these things in a magazine, I would think they were made up stories. This is stuff from people who are MAD AS HELL over something that I am in the dark about. If you gotta blame somebody, DON'T PICK ME! I am washing my hands of ALL OF THIS. Any accusations without solid concrete evidence of my direct SINvolvement will be IGNORED and should a telephone be used in this exchange, get used to a dial tone. NO PROOF - NO FOUL!
PEOPLE WHO HAVEN'T GOT A CLUE
If you receive a phone call from someone you do not know personally who offers to put your band on television for free, what should your response be? The correct answer is "Yes, we are interested. What do we need to do?" ALWAYS! No matter what. Damn, how stupid can you be? What is up with these MORONS who are listed as "band contacts" when you call them for info? "Uh, I don't know. I have to ask the other guys if it would be OK". ??!??!??!!! Or here ya go - (this is an actual response from the contact person for a NEW magazine): "I'll have to ask the labels if it will be OK." You have to get permission from someone else TO HAVE A FEATURE ABOUT YOUR MAGAZINE ON TV? Know what? After closer analysis, you don't need to be on TV, you fucking moron. All the bands out there reading this - if you have a name and number listed for a contact person, you had damn well be sure that whoever answers that phone or email or whatever HAS A BRAIN & KNOWS WHAT TO SAY WHEN SOMEONE ACTUALLY CALLS. It is better to NOT HAVE CONTACT INFO AT ALL IF THE PERSON WHO ANSWERS IS AN IDIOT. When is your next gig? Uh, I'm not sure. We need an opening band, can you guys play next weekend? Uh, I don't know. Can you guys come over and do an interview for the magazine? Uh, I need to ask. This is The Reverend from REV-TV. I'm trying to set up an interview with you guys and feature your band on my TV show. Uh, I don't know if we can. Well, know what? You were right, and now, I don't know if you can. You snooze, you lose. Sleep tight, motherfuckers.
SECOND GUESSERS
Here we go..... in light of the recent tragedy in Virginia at VA. Tech: The victims were not even identified before the Anti Gun Crowd started screaming about how we need more gun restrictions and more anti gun laws. I have a question for everyone reading this - IS IT LEGAL TO SHOOT SOMEONE FOR NO REASON? IS IT LEGAL TO MURDER PEOPLE? NO, IT IS NOT! Therefore, MORE GUN LAWS AND GUN OWNERSHIP RESTRICTIONS WILL NOT SOLVE ANYTHING. A criminal DOES NOT CARE if it is illegal to murder someone. It is unreal to me that NOBODY else had a gun. Had someone else had a firearm, possibly the gunman could have been stopped sooner. Had people been allowed to carry firearms (as guaranteed by the US Constitution), it is possible that this guy would not have done what he did. If you walk into a room where everyone is packing heat, do you think that it would be easy to rob or assault or murder them? No, it would not. Yes, people could be hurt or killed even if there were armed persons there. However, I'll wager that 32 people wouldn't have been victims before someone else stepped up and stopped the guy. Does anyone besides me believe that the guy would not have done what he did in that fashion if he knew that everyone in the building had a gun? Would you walk into a room full of armed people and start shooting? If they could shoot back, most likely, YOU WOULD NOT DO IT. There is no excuse, reason or justification for what that guy did. People want someone to blame - BLAME THE FUCKING PSYCHOPATH THAT DID THE CRIME. Not the Campus President, not the Campus Security, not the campus staff or ANYONE else for that matter. Responsibility rests solely on the shoulders of the murderer. Period. Now, everyone should be trying to help the families of the victims. Also the gunmans mother and father. Think about how bad they must feel, knowing that their son caused so much pain and suffering. Let's not let this unfortunate horrible event turn into an anti gun rally. THE GUN DID NOT COMMIT THE CRIME!
